And green rocket shrimp, green shrimp, neon green, neon red, neon blue, cameroon armoured shrimp, diamond shrimp, 3 band shrimp. I've suspicions that some of them are actually just malayan shrimps.
BTW, I think 7 and 8 are the same, and are both part of the rocket shrimp family. Crystal red are bee shrimp selectively bred for their red bands.

Thot I share some info, was told if you dont have water temperature of abt 25 degrees, better dont try Bee or Tiger shrimp though they may be cheap...no wonder mine keep dying after 1-2 days. Gave up these 2 species liao.

For other shrimps listed abv, which species have you guys tried and found to be more stable? I find Cherries and Malayan easiest followed by Yamatoes...
