What shrimp is that

[northboy]

Here is a couple of photos to keep you guessing

Is it a Darwin Algae Shrimp? Caridina sp NTnilotica

[2OFUS]

Yellow and black/chocolate cherry

definitely not native 100%

I think I know that the clear spotty one is that you can't see its head, a Caridina confusa

The yellow spotty one is either C, confusa or that new species you found.

The black or dark one with the red eggs is the new one you found where the males are different colours to the females.

Do we get points for guessing?;)

And just for the record you are still evil Bob.... tempting us with more lovely natives. LOL

Knowing Bob it's definitely native, Short creek sp?

[northboy]

Dam you are sharp Bacc and Zeik, I was not looking at the clear headless one? and it is C. confusa and so is the middle one just in a different mood.

Top and bottom are C. sp malanda creek female showing its colour, males have a reddish colour

Back to the Confusa, top headless ans middle shot, it sort of confirms what I bang on about all the time, you can not ID native shrimp by colour it is all about the Rostrum= nose.

Just a little note, I am going to set up some tanks for photos and get a loan of that camera again and take photos of native shrimp and finish my articles, AT LAST

I might not have known what name the other shrimp was going by but I did figure it was your two coloured one...(pats self on back), and the confusa I knew because I have watched mine that many times.
