    Default One more Shrimp ID?

    Don't have any idea what type it is. Any help? Would like to know more about it, so that I can know how to adjust water parameters.

    So how to be sure, what it is? I don't want to trade with people and tell them a wrong name. Is there any bigger difference to spot dead on?

    Have a look at this: http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/218-New-Bee-Shrimp

    I agree, Iguess it's new bee (caridina cf. tumida).
    Summarizing they have a white "face" and a really short rostrum. They are smaller than "usual" shrimps.
    It's easy to diferenciate from caridina cf. breviata "bumblebee" (they have a wite W at the pereion, their "face" isn't white and they are bigger)
    Xema had a post explaining their differences with pictures, but I'm not able to find it.
