geez expensive for shrimp... Yeah looks to me like a dyed ghost shrimp. Probably just dipped in dyes. If so, then it would lose color fast.

 

[TylerFerretLord]

It's pretty.

Too bad it's most likely dyed. I would love some of those.

 

[mcdanielnc89]

yes they r very pretty

 

[TylerFerretLord]

Too bad shrimp aren't like plants, I water my little window garden with dyed water. They look very cool.

crystal shrimps look better. and come cheaper too

 

[mcdanielnc89]

everyone says the crystal shrimp are for saltwater... so...

I like the comelion shrimp. Dont know if I spelled that right

Those shrimp aren't necessarily dyed, all sorts of new natural coloured shrimp appear every now and then.
However they look strikingly similar to this species (unnaturally blue).

they are not dyed they are as the picture says caridina Sp. 'orange'
which means they are an, as yet, unconfirmed species of caridina

 

[mcdanielnc89]

that explains why thier so high.. LOL.....

i so want some!

 

[mcdanielnc89]

hmm. are these possibly like the "blue shrimp"? where thier offspring won't be orange..

 

[The-Wolf]

I've been doing a bit more digging and they are most likely to be Neocaridina sp. 'orange' commonly called the Orange Shrimp (how very original)
breeding will be that same as for any Caridina or Neocaridina and info on that can be found at http/www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk
