Orange shrimps

Thanks James.
Not much luck on goggle,they talk about them needing brakish water, sounds like the armano.
No one talks about actually breeding them.
I have a mix of male and females, so time will tell. i will just leave them to get on with it.
Ive done the same with my CRS, and Cherries and all continue to breed on a regular basis.
 
They wont breed for you im afraid..
They are easier than amanos though as you can keep them in medium strenght brackish water for there entire life cycle.
A tiny bit trickyer to keep than cherries.
we are talking about caridina cf. propaniqua?

I would have guessed this as well. Does anyone know if there are any orange colour neocaridina varieties?
If their are I imagine they would breed easily (as per cherries, snowballs, blue pearls).
 
you can get cherry shrimps that have been bred to be orange :)but ive never seen any in my time of searching
 
Here is a picture of the Bogwoods Shrimps, (pics not great as taken on my phone)

I personally think that they are the following:

This confirms that they are Brackish Water breeders.
 
If you could get a macro shot of the rostrum and post it up on one of the shrimp forums then I reckon you would stand a better chance of getting a positive ID.

Failing that search for existing macro shots online and compare the rostrum to your shrimps.

I think it is great that there are enough shrimp these days that we can get confused over ID'ing them :thumbup: :lol:
