Like I say, they were doing some awesome sparring/displaying for a good while, until I dimmed the lights and grabbed the camera...little buggers...the yellow phantoms, and the reds, are just as fun to keep as the blacks, same behaviors, different colorsWhat a fun ritual!
Thought I'd lost one, TG it was just a molt...they must be happy and eating, molts are always a good sign
I'm with you. Sure, don't mix colours of neos if you really want high grade shrimp and want to sell them or something, but if you're just keeping them for your own enjoyment, throw whatever you want in there! I had red cherries, but I really love the blues, and couldn't resist adding a few when they were available in my store, and I got a good deal because they were tiny babies that had been born in the store. He only charged me £1.50 each for them, and threw the last tiny one in for free. Yes, I've had some wild types, and my browns haven't been as cool looking as yours! But I really like the deep brown ones that they've thrown, but they've also produced more reds, more blues, a couple of really cool looking black ones, and even a perfect rili once! The rili surprised me, gotta admit. Some oranges and greenish/wildish coloured ones too, it's fun to see what else will appear!
I was trying to guess from the noise, I'm guessing at least one small one, and one medium - large one!
Thanks very much!.....check out this chart, on NeosGorgeous tanks and fish!
I need to re-arrange all my tanks and tear some down, including tearing down, stripping down, moving and refilling a 57 gallon... if you and/or @WhistlingBadger could just pop over and fix them up to look like yours, I'd appreciate it!

I only recently added six amanos too, they're so huge next to the neos, but don't bother each other. The amanos are quick to grab and walk away with whatever food they find for sure! I was hoping they'd eat the black beard algae that's appeared recently, but I doubt they will as long as there's tastier food available. But even the neos will grab a bloodworm or bit of brineshrimp if it gets past the fish.
What kind of dogs do you have? I like hearing them in the background! Also a dog person
And here's my 3 lazy bones, Marley, Toby, and Sadie....all mixed breed rescues...they're my babies, lolGorgeous tanks and fish!

I can barely make head nor tail of it...
Aaaww! I thought there might be a third dog! I was trying to guess from the sounds of their paws scrabbling, lol
Yep, those paws make quite a bit of noise on my wood floors, especially when they are playing, which is why I usually try to wear them out in the yard first, lolI can barely make head nor tail of it...
Just like when I try to learn more about planted tanks, and quickly get lost, it's the same with shrimp nerding! Some people really know their shrimp, and I get lost in the details!

Mine! Mine! Mine!
It's really fun to watch, glad I tried these guys, but I'm finding new molts DAILY, and each time, I assume one died, lol...haven't gotten used to their size, and the size of the molts....but molting is good, they're eating, and growing
