In the middle of November last year I bought some mixed colour cherry shrimps on eBay. Since fish are the main focus of my main tank I am not worried about them all being brown eventually and the mixed colours were cheaper than the same number of a single colour. I paid for 10 and there were 11 in the bag.
These shrimps were pale having been in a bag overnight but they appeared to be -
1 x deep orange (bright red when settled in)
1 x light orange (now bright orange)
1 x pale blue
1 x deep blue
1 X black
3 x red rili
1 x dark rili
2 x green
The only dead adult I have found is one red rili but as I have not seen any blue or green recently I suspect they were eaten before I found the bodies.
The tank now has a large number of orange and red shrimps, including several juvenile rilis, one adult black shrimp and a group of odd coloured shrimp which appeared a month or so ago. I have no idea what colour the parents were but there are about half a dozen juveniles. This afternoon after finishing a water change I noticed three of them at the front of the tank so I grabbed my camera. They almost look like tiger shrimp, but those are not Neocaridina and there were no striped shrimp amongst the batch I bought.
