Do i have blue dream or blue velvet shrimp?

[SanDiegoRedneck]

Good morning, can anyone tell from these pictures if I have blue dream or blue velvet shrimp. I have 30 in a 10gal planted tank with HOB filter with prefilter. Hoping to breed them.

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips.

Google says that blue dream are dark blue while blue velvet are paler. But you would need to have them side by side to see a difference.

Thanks, that's what I am seeing and these are very dark blue.
