These were billed as bloody Mary’s but I can’t tell if it’s the shell or flesh that make such a beautiful red color. Liz- any suggestions to differentiate painted fire reds from bloody Mary’s short of culling and dissection?
Re: Looking for shrimp ...
I have no idea. But if they're so red that even their little legs are red, I consider them to be Bloody Mary's. You have excellent shrimp. Do you have to keep up with culling? I do. Mine produce a small number of light grey shrimp. I feed my culls to the Discus. The Discus don't care what color the shrimp are. You have a beautiful group of shrimp.

Re: Looking for shrimp ...
Thanks Liz. I haven’t gotten any wild types. I give less red males to my kids shrimp tanks
Re: Looking for shrimp ...
Liz was kind enough to send me some of her bloody Mary shrimp (Thank you Liz!)..Once they settle in, I will try and take some macro shots of them and the Cherry Shrimp I got from Tom (Thanks again Tom!). From what I read aside from the color of the flesh being different there should be some differences in the shell length/shape.

Re: Looking for shrimp ...
I had no idea. Mine were sold to me as bloody mary's. I hope they turn out to be what they're supposed to be.
Re: Looking for shrimp ...
Hi Al, long time no "see". man I wish was here earlier about a week ago clean up my cherry shrimp collection down to only a dozen as I sold them up to a LFS leaving only about a dozen of the good looking ones, be careful as they breed like crazy . I do feed them to my Discus like Liz does but still is a lot of work , and only take a red female or a couple of them that are carrying eggs from a grey guy or not so red male (males are always lighter) and you get flooded with culls again.
Re: Looking for shrimp ...
Your culls will be a desirable treat for your adult Discus. It's fun to watch the Discus hunt them down.
