new shrimp

i dont know what does it name but it looks special

[torque6]

very special, its following the strips of a tiger shrimp. But i can't help with you IDing though.

[Texas,Guy]

torque I'd agree it's a tiger shrimp.

are these from southern China? that area has at least 140 species of Caridinae so it would be very hard to pin down to species level, especially without dissection.

i got from japan
hmm..... do not agree it is a tiger shrimp
they are very differece
for this adult shrimp, the body color is dark brown with white point and some black
it is very special

[hwchoy]

yes, it is not "tiger shrimp" as we commonly know it.

[silane]

I am not suprise it is a tigbee shrimp if it is bred in Japan. Currently, there are lot of experimental hybrid by breeders there.

[hwchoy]

oh no!!!

Best to get a proper ID, since we are not too sure. let us know apisto.

Could it be a hybrid?
Many moons ago, I added some tiger shrimps(big mistake) to my now so called rojak shrimp tank with my so labelled baby amanos(turn out to be green cherry shrimp looking, any they can breed fast).
Anyway, many moons later,, when i scooped out some small shrimps for my tubs, i noticed that some of these green shrimp got a little tiger like black marking. Tigers and hybrids(?) not strong enough for my natural longkang tank, extinct already.

Sorry to borrow this thread, anybody knows what is the shrimp that are sold as GREEN cherry shrimp? - Wild red cherries??? Can interbreed with tiger or red cherry shrimp.
I could also find red cherry shrimps in this tank, but they could have gone in when i move the plants. Thanks
