Are these green?

Hi,

 

I was offered these shrimps as being green shrimps (Caridina Babaulti).

They are not what I was expecting, since they look very diferent from some that I had before.

My problem is that I wanted to join them with red cherrys and I'm afraid that they might crosbreed.
Can someone please help me ID this species?

I dont think they are greens. The head shape and rostrum are all wrong. Without knowing what shrimp are available in Portugal, any suggestion I make as to what species this is would be speculation.

Neocaridina heteropoda is the old name for cherries, the current name is Neocaridina davidi.

So yes, cherries will definitely breed with cherries. Glad you got an ID.
