Hi! I bought these about a week ago labeled as "blue shrimp," but i highly doubt that is their identity as they look nothing like any of the blue shrimp species. I'm thinking that they are the non-striped variations of Indian Zebra Shrimp, but there's not too much info about them on the web. Can anyone ID these shrimp for me? Thanks a bundle!:icon_smil

neocaridina palmata maybe?

It's hard to tell if it's a babaulti or not, can you post a picture of one from the side?

I don't think it's palmata because they have a more solid body color. I'll try to get a picture of one on its side.

If it's got a fatter head, look at malaya rainbow shrimp (part of the caridina babaulti complex)

Thank you! Yea I was thinking that they were part of the Caridina Babaulti Complex. Just wanted to make sure as so they wouldn't interbreed should I get Cherry shrimp in the future.
