i bought orange shrimp from ebay last fall and a few days after i had them they weren't orange anymore, don't waste your money.. only have 2 left 1 is brownish the other is a little redspots and mostly blackish, there are no real orange shrimp and those that are don't look orange, the koolaid looking ones are fake in some way maybe feed or something,.. but i still wanted to try and well i lost,.. paid a hell of a price for ordinary shrimp..that don't breed,. as far as i can tell..
just wanted to let you know, maybe it's my water but maybe it's a hoaks,..just a heads up.. if you want i can give you a link on were i bought them
