Mr. F Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 In my never ending quest to fortify my Fire Red Cherry line, I was buying 10 PRF/fire RCS from a LFS and the owner decided to just redo the whole tank cuz there were only about 10 shrimp in there. I ended up walking out with 12-14 (can't remember it was weeks ago) and only got charged for 9 at $2.5 a piece. Nice! Anyway, the owner told me there might be a tiger shrimp in there. Turned out there was one orange shrimp and another pale orange shrimp (not like I've ever seen, almost like a bolt coloration, but orange and probably neo) amongst the Reds. Anyway, for a while I have been looking at the breeder I've been holding them in before culling and hadn't seen him, but just today I noticed this guy: I didn't think it was a tiger because I haven't seen one like this, but I have never kept any before. What do you think it is? Just a pretty WT neo or a clear tiger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 The stripes are yellowish brown and the "line" above the swimmerettes is bright red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It could be a wild colored cherry. Mr. F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It could be a wild colored cherry. That's what I'm thinkin, just never seen a cherry completely clear with those goldish stripes and cheek dotting. Just making sure before I tried cross with mischling for no reason ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 The pale orange could be a "pumpkin" neo. They were quite common about 2-3 years ago, now that I think about it I have not seen any lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
