Just Shrimps :)

The Ninjas remain illusive as ever. Don't know how many are still alive in that tank but when I thought they had all died a couple came out to play Not only that, one of them actually changed colours while I was taking a few pictures.

Here you can see the darker one changed from black/brown/white to red/brown/white (in under a minute ) So cool. Wish they'd come out more often like the cherries .

Here's a clearer pic of the shrimp

Well, I'm going to keep this thread as my shrimp gallery album so here are a few more mixed shrimp pics.

You've just solved my big shrimp mystery.

Esfa, did you get yours from Maidenhead Aquatics? I got my Ninjas from MA and they labelled them as Blue Tigers. I knew they weren't blue tigers but bought them out of curiosity. Glad that I did

My newer younger Ninjas have coloured up a little now and hopefully they will become more colourful and change colour like the first few I bought.

Sorry to hear about your suicide shrimp

 

[Esfa]

nope, got them from an independent shop, they labled them as "Red Apple Shrimp"

I have never seen mine change colour, though do you have a scientific name for these critters?

Ninja shrimps (caridina serratirostris)
