I'm not good with native ID but could be a glass shrimp, best people to ask would be Bob(Northboy) or Baccus :encouragement:

Looks like a type of glass shrimp, but as squiggle said northboy or baccus should know.

Did you buy it or catch it locally as that will help with Id.

Cheers mick

i bought them from the auction at st. lucia about 2 weeks ago, they were put up as typus, but a few people that are into shrimp that looked at them after i bought them couldn't decide, typus,dae,drn,glass....:Scratch-Head:

I'll go out on a limb & say they aren't Darwin Red Nose & the Typus I had were an orange/brown colour, definitely need Northboy or Baccus to chime in here. :D

Hahaha, that stuff doesn't work on this forum dude, I'll PM them when I get a chance but Northboy has been having interweb troubles & Baccus should be on any time soon, she usually gets on every few days. :encouragement:

My best guess would be DAS, AKA Darwin Algae Shrimp, could you give us an indication of size? I had some local shrimp (possibly glass) which where small and barely the size of my largest cherry shrimp. Whereas the DAS get quite a lot bigger and similar size to Typhus but without the other distinguishing patterns.

I should have been more specific. Here are some of mine which I am breeding for blue colouring. Paratya Australiensis have eyes which sit high on their head, have a slender body, their rostrum sits low and extends far forward and the centre of their telson (centre of the fin looking bit) is nice and rounded unlike the glass shrimp from WA.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
