    About 2 months ago I went to my local fish shop and bought a bunch of freshwater plants to start up a new planted tank. Today while doing a waterchange I found a little shrimp. I never had shrimp in this tank so I’m assuming it came in on one of the plants and hid somewhere under a rock in the tank all this time and only came out now.

    I have no idea what he is and was wondering if someone might be able to ID him for me.

    Wild colouration of the standard Neocaridina Davidii/Heteropoda, or Red Cherry Shrimp.

    Let me know if you're interested in a few more.
    I have a couple of strays hanging around.
    Seeing as you're so close, just let me know and we can arrange something.

    Definitely! Can we arrange something in the new year? I’m going on holiday tomorrow and will only be back on the 2nd?
