I just received a few orange shrimp to bolster my orange shrimp gene pool... yesterday must have been a bad day to catch shrimp, at the sellers, 2 of them look bright red, like a good cherry shrimp should, the rest are translucent red, & look like cherry shrimp culls... I'm still trying to figure out what to do with them... I don't think I want to add them to my orange shrimp tank...I might add the red ones to the cherry tank, & dump the cull looking shrimp in with my cichlids, like the feeders they should have been???
 
just looked at them again, after sitting a while, not bouncing around in the UPS truck, the others have gotten darker... but I see no orange tint, in the bag, they look just like cherry shrimp... maybe once they get into the tank, rather than the bag, with white foam background, more of the orange color will come out??? I don't remember this issue with the previous orange shrimp though... I guess I'll put them in the orange shrimp tank, & hope for the best???
 
Shrimpy Business is a great place to mail order neocaridina.
