    Are these Amano shrimp or did I get ripped off?

    I have giant amano shrimp in my 30 gallon and they donā€™t look like this. The color is red and blue but it could be what they were eating. Their patterns are VERY differant from normal Amano shrimp. These guys have tiger stripes instead of dots and dashes. Plz help.
