looking for a non clear non-crs/bcs shrimp clean crew

Ok guys and gals... time for another round of stock my tank!!!!!!!!!

"The game show where some totally random person asks other totall random people to stock thier tank."
Prizes include but may be limited to vicarious thrills!!!!!! erv:
:lol:

I am looking for a shrimp that comes in color varieties other than clear and ARE NOT;
Ghost shrimp
Amano
Crystal Red/ Crystal Black
Crayfish or Prawn of any kind.

The attributes that I AM looking for are;

1. Plant friendly
2. Fresh water breedable
3. Willing to work as clean up.
4. Red, Black, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Purple "There are so many color in the rain bow... so many colors in the seting sun ... so lets use every one."
5. Available from a sustainable source.

So that's it... Looking for a look good unique clean up sustainable crew. My water paramiters are very wide with my current stock.

P.S. You'll recieve bonus points in the LIGHTNING ROUND :nilly: if you can name the artist and song I quoted in post. :dance:

So I am assuming that since the rilli shrimp are in the same family as "ghost" shrimp that they would have the same appities? just on a smaller scale as they are a smaller shrimp?

Rili shrimp are cherry shrimp- in a sense. They are the same species. Have you thought about bamboo shrimp?

yeah i have but don't i need a longer set up tank for them. also i read online they change colors ... very cool. and a lfs has some for sale in town regularly.


and no i am not looking for non-crs but crs like shrimp. I am looking for shrimp like ghost shrimp but not clear. I love keeping ghost shrimps in my tank as they are cleaning machines active and cool but after ten years or so i am looking to change and i want some with colors since the ghosts are hard too spot in my tank from across the room.

but i am looking for active scavanging shrimp with colors that are not crystal shrimps.

They should be in at least a 10g. Other shrimp would be ones mentioned above. There are a lot more here:http://www.planetinverts.com/
