[Ryleyman]

It's really hard to tell based on those pictures, can we get some up close profile pictures of the shrimp that aren't sideways?

However if I had to guess just based off those pictures my guess would be "Blue Pearls" Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis var. blue.

Now of they look closer to my shrimp below then they are Blue velvet.

They just don't look like a bright enough blue.

Here is a better picture

 

[Mogurako]

Need a close up side view! But from that picture I can rule out Blue Velvet. It could be a blue bee.

okaaay sorrry ill try to get one i just dont wanna bug her too much because she has eggs!

 

[Ryleyman]

Here are the best pictures i could get she was really sketchy today and wouldnt come onto my finger like she usually does with jer little friend cherry shrimp!

 

[Mogurako]

That's still really hard to tell, it's pretty blurry. If that shrimp is indeed a blue pearl then it will cross breed with your cherries an you'll end up with brown shrimp.

Is that shrimp really as green as it looks in the photos?

and Yes she is very much so a green but somedays shes more of a blue its kinda weird

 

[Mogurako]

If that shrimp is really that green than it very well could be what they call a "Rainbow Shrimp" which is essentially the wild color variants of a cherry shrimp which can be red, green/blue and brown. That would also explain the stripe down the back. What other shrimp are in the tank?

 

[FishCr8zy]

She definitely looks like a blue pearl shrimp. But has a strong green tint. Weird. Lol
What type of filter do u have?

It could be a rainbow shrimp but rainbows usually have more than one color on them.
