Soothing Shrimp and I have decided to start a little breeding project together and Bryce recently acquired these two shrimp which are residing with me currently in a tank of CRS/CBS/Goldens. We are both on the fence about if these are red bolts, pinks, or something else entirely. Both are sub adults and are not full grown. Now, I'm no Speedie when it comes to photos, my lenses just don't care to shoot through glass or acrylic for some reason so the sharpness and clarity aren't there. But these two photos are as true to life color wise as I can get. The top guy is a medium shade of pink like a dark rose quartz. The one on the bottom is more of a peachy pink, really beautiful little thing. The water is slightly tannin stained which may throw a slight golden cast on them (that I don't see in person, but the camera pics up on it). So what say you? Do we have a couple of red bolts, low quality red bolts, or something different altogether? They've only been in the tank for 12 days so they could still be coloring up, they've gained a lot of color since they arrived. I will try to get better photos (I try every day!) but in the meantime these are the ones that best show their true colors without contrast or anything bumped up. Thank you in advance!
