Or it could also be a algae shrimp

It looks like a Neocardinia heteropoda sp. Its the wild type of the red cherry shrimp.

I think that if it were Neocardinia heteropoda it would be smaller. I think most likely it is a Caridina japonica shrimp. (Amano)

Glass one is the glass catfish. Looking like a shrimp in picture. Aren't all shrimps are algae shrimps?

Definitely look like a neocaridina heteropoda yellow shrimp. I still don't know its normal common name. Sometimes it is called neon or yellow shrimp. Is this kind of cherry shrimp?

 

[Mebbid]

If that's what it is, Neocardinia Heteropoda IS its name. Red cherry, yellow etc. Are just trade names, the wild type doesn't have a trade name.

Thanks. Its little confusing. Neocaridina davidi also look like cherry?

Neocaridina davidi Yellow



Both very similar looking. Any ideas?

 

[Mebbid]

For an absolute ID you will need a much closer pic, with higher definition, and something to give a sense of scale near it.

Thanks a lot. So they did re classifications further. I see.

That naming and reclassifying thing causes all kinds of confusion.

Good in the long run but a mess for the regular people trying to figure it all out with so many different names floating around.

Exactly. I had headache yesterday really finding the exact name. I just always want to know name of every species I have in tank. I will call them yellow shrimps then [emoji1] I hope my red cherry shrimps grow quick and start to come out from there favorite hiding space.
