I think the library here should have a profile on the blue shrimps? Do check it out, there should be pictures and details about the species there as well. I heard it is pretty tough to find one and there are dyed ones in the market. :undecided

I think there is a recent discussion about black back shrimps, do search for it. :) There should be pictures in that thread as well as far as I can remember.

I was stupid enough to buy those blue caridina's and i can asure you: the don't stay blue. Also other people i know had the same experience :( The turn brown very quickly and stay that way.

Why not show us what is the picture of shrimps that you got from the seller?

Sellers are pretty creative in giving tradename to shrimps.

I bet the 2 "species" of shrimps are from same breeding tank, seller classify them according to color.

Well, needs a bit of imagination to see blue color of a blue shrimps and also depends on their mood to show blue. :D

A shop near me had some labeled "Sapphire Blue" and I picked a few up. It's been about 5 weeks now that I have had them. Noticed one with eggs last night.
