These came with a tank I bought. Any idea what it is. I have 1 other that looks a bit different. But just added 5 pfrs yesterday to the tank so want to pull these out if they interbreed

At first glance looks like some sort of neo. Pretty though.

If it is, then yes they would interbreed.

The other one is real blue. I'll have to pull them out, got 5 pfrs at an auction yesterday and two are big and berried.

Good observation shrimpo, however I don't think you can go on that. Some of my neos have those kind of eyes, too. *shrugs* I'm guessing these are wilds.

Do you have some side views? From that photo it looks sakura, but pics can be misleading.

You could have fire reds, tattooed. The photo shows a sakura, but the others may be fire red.

Mix them all and then cull the lower grades when you have enough to cull. Enjoy them in the meantime.

So I was able to snag 3 shrimp from the other tank and put them with these 5, one I snagged was berried but the newest added ones are considerably smaller. Just juvies or what?
