Hello,
This is my first post so I hope I put this question in the right section. My friend gave me some shrimp a month ago, he told me the name but I never wrote it down. Come today, I notice some eggs on one of the shrimp and I want to make sure I raise them right. However, I don't know what kind of shrimp I have. I think they are red bee shrimp, but the pictures I've seen online have shrimp that are more white than translucent. Here are some pictures of my shrimp:

Crystal red shrimp looks like possibly. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Do you have closer up shots of them and coloring.

Those are the best pictures I could get... I spent the last half hour waiting for them to move around. But looking at the pictures in that link they look very similar. Thanks for the fast reply!

Here is a cropped image of one of the above ones, it makes it seem like I zoomed in.

I've got another question. How long is the incubation time from when you see eggs to when they hatch?

I can't answer any of your questions but I think your shrimp are really cool looking! I've often wanted shrimp but I like corys too much and I don't believe they are compatible. But I love the looks of yours!
