Are these Amano shrimp or did I get ripped off?

I have giant amano shrimp in my 30 gallon and they don’t look like this. The color is red and blue but it could be what they were eating. Their patterns are VERY differant from normal Amano shrimp. These guys have tiger stripes instead of dots and dashes. Plz help.

Ghost shrimp wouldn’t be that color they also don’t have the body type. They have the same body shape as an amano shrimp.

Ok, just was looking at some pics of ghost shrimp and they kinda looked like them.

Ghost shrimp have a weird back hump. I always thought they looked weird

I would guess someone let 2 different color variations of shrimp breed. Not Amanos.

Caradina typus? I have no clue with shrimps...have a Google and see if it looks like what you have
