I think it's the wild form of the Cherry Shrimp... the so called "Wild Type Neocaridina heteropoda"
Hi all,
@AverageWhiteBloke nice tank, I enjoyed that.
What do we think about the shrimp? They look like Amano shrimp, but have re-produced in fresh water (and provided a very useful fry food supply with the freshly released nauplii).

I'm pretty sure the large one is an Amano, and shows primitive reproduction (the larvae have a true planktonic nauplii stage), but there are also plenty of shrimplets, I wasn't sure whether they were from another species of shrimp in the tank.I think they're Amano. They can develop eggs in freshwater. AFAIK it's only the free swimming larvae that needs brackish/salt water for further development. Although in a tank like this, they'd probably be fish food, or perish.

@AverageWhiteBloke Thanks for inviting me here. I presume.
