My guess is, it is Caridina cf. babaulti var. "Stripes" from India.

Hi Jojoe,
this seems to be the Caridina cf. babaulti spp. 'stripes'. Some Germans keep and breed them too, they breed true. They belong to the high order kind, so you can breed them in freshwater. They should breed better in soft water than in hard water, so that is a advantage of them which should help you.

The pregnant females do not show the stripes as clear as males, juveniles or non-pregnant do. It is recommend to use selective breeding to increase the contrast of the stripes to the surrounding colors.



best regards
