Can anyone help with an id on these shrimps.
They came with af shipment from Singapore and was sold as Red Tail Shrimp.
They vary a lot in colors from colorless to brown and some with small blue dots all over the body. Some og them has pale red nose and tail.
One of the females has carried eggs, bit I never saw any shrimplets.

Seems that they have yet to get used to your tank enviroment. The red tail I saw here in a display tank has prominant (light) red tail.

Well it's not the most colourfull shrimps.
I only think I have one female and she has been carrying eggs for the last 6-7 days.

They look a lot like these: Rotschwanzgarnele at wirbellose.de
So I'll call them Caridina/Neocaridina sp. "Red Tail" until someone comes up with a better name.
