Looks like RCS to my untrained eye. I could likely be wrong. My only experience with shrimp is with Fire shrimp.

Looks like an RCS to me too.

RCS are more of a red color and have some white, but I'm not an expert on shrimp, this one looks sorta orange all over. Just my opinion though.

 

[Bschowa]

it is definately orange all over

It looks like an orange ghost shrimp to me. Where did you get it. They are colored based on the water quality

I guess it does look more orange.

Then it's most likely not a RCS. The orange ghost shrimp reply might be the one, there was a thread around here about all the different kinds of shrimp

Aren't rcs more red. I have never seen them that light

Could be a RCS that has just molted that's why it has such a light color.

The shrimp color is in the skin pigment. That's just a clear protective shell

Ive got some that are orangeish. there are some orange species but they are far less common than rcs.

Maybe that's why I have never seen them so I guess I would go with rcs

I am not sure but I think I will jump on the RCS bandwagon.

i got it at a small little pet store, they had no idea what it was so they sold it to me cheep, they got it in on a truck by accident

+1, there's an orange variety of rcs
