i went to polyart yesterday. those are not ninja shrimp think is ninja samurai shrimp. both are differnt species although name is similar. looks like blue tiger shrimp though. 10 for $1XX is too expensive. if 10 for $20 i might consider.

i went to polyart yesterday too, but did not see any ninja or ninja samurai shrimp. Where are they placed?

[EvolutionZ]

its floating in the bag on their planted display with chiller.

i went to polyart again today & saw the shrimps.
looks just like normal malayan shrimp.
Not know what's appealing to be so expensive.

[ranmasatome]

Its all the same thing....call this call that... really funny man these commercial fish shops.

[Quixotic]

Hmm... common names are a real pain!

Isn't the Ninja Samurai shrimp the wild blue tiger shrimp?

I take it you are referring to Red Mini Line shrimps. The stripe on them looks different from Malayan shrimps, so perhaps a different species (or maybe not, until they can be scientifically described).

these name are actually given by wholesalers, and probably given to them by someone else.

will ninja shrimps breed with other breeds of shrimps example, cherry or bee?

[haywas_35]

Doesn't look that appealing to me.

[Radiance]

Look "so-so" only to me... wonder why are they so expensive

[marle]

why does ninja shrimps change colour? my shrimp went from red to slightly brown black in minutes and it was at the same environment..

[Quixotic]

The moniker "ninja" shrimps probably allude to their ability to change their patterns and colours dynamically. As for their reasons, who knows, maybe depending on their moods, or as forms of communication to other shrimps?
