Never create what you can't control
Any close up and rostrum (head) shots of them?
Will try to take closeup but my photography is lousy. Anyway, was told that it looks like Malaya (Rainbow) shrimp.
Growing old with this forum.. :)
Think it looks much better than most malayan shrimps
Adoketa, Breitbinden, Paciquamis, Diplotaenia, Elizabethae, Mendezi, Inka, Agassizi, L046, L066, Crystal Red Shrimps
Yeah, think it looks like a Malayan.. some of my malayan shrimps adopt that colouring from time to time. Don't know what triggers it though.

As far as I know, there is another shrimp which is similar looking to the "Malayan" species. So some close-ups may be able to help (or maybe not).
Wah bro, very nice shrimp!!
How much did you spend on it?
Actually, i had that kind of shrimp before and was told its a malayan rainbow shrimp. Not sure whst the difference with red line shrimp. Looks the same to me. Unfortunately, during my several rescaping, all in RIP now
Confirmed it's Malayan shrimp. It has the same red line from head to tail.
Can easily get from most LFS at 100pcs for S$10. Adult size, mixture of colors.
They survive and breed easily.

i have got a bunch of cherry shrimps also carrying a faint pink/red line.

I love my fishes.
I think the difference is the red line shrimp is wild thats what i was told when i went to the shop two weeks back
Thanks for all of your inputs. Trying to get a better close up shot but that bugger just hide and refused to come out for its photo shot. Anyway, I will just name these 2 my wild possible Malaya shrimp since I cannot find red line shrimp from the internet

the purported "red line shrimp" has a different dorsal stripe compared this "malayan shrimp". the former has no "horns" on the stripe.
I saw what something similar to the "red line" a few years back in a shipment of red nose shrimps from India, as a by catch.
again I wish to caution attempting to definitively identify these small caridinae purely from their colours and patterns.
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
