My "Black" Algea eating shrimp

[GatorRock]

So I too have bought some of the "Black" shrimp that have hit town lately-

Though at a distance these do look black- when you really look at them you cn see they are either dark blue with some red or dark red with some blue.

Feel free to look at the pics in my Flickr album "Black" shrimp

The most pics have been contrast/brightness modified- sorry don't have a macro/micro lens to get great pics yet...

Wow, those are really neat looking! I don't know much (okay, next to nothing) about shrimp...but I like how their carapace (if that's the right word) looks shinier than most I've seen.

Man that red one looks kinda crazy!! I think I read that it could be from stress though.

For the most part they look like the ones I got from Fish RanchII
