I think it's just common neocaridina that hitch hiked in as a baby with my red cherry shrimp I just couldn't find a picture with out color variation

Thanks

From the picture it looks kind of blue, coul it be a really low-grade blue velvet or blue pearl shrimp? It does look like some type of Neo.

The body is like a dark charcoal grey and the stripe orange

It could be a really low-grade RCS. Some super low-grade males are like that.

Ahh ok I just wasn't sure, is it worth saving or should I pass it on to my brothers barbs?

If you're looking to breed higher quality RCS, having that shrimp in the gene pool is probably not a good thing.

I bought 2 and there were a few babies in the bag and they are reproducing in my tank. I just enjoy the diversity

They are calling some of the variations cinnamon or chocolate and getting MORE money for them lol

I have some. I just like all the colors I would keep it for fun, but in a different tank than the reds, if you are breeding them up!

I'm just letting them breed since they want to, if I end up with too many I have friends that will buy or get them lol
