Caridina babaulti

[SotaAquatics]

Was able to finally get some caridina babaulti. Very excited, shrimp arrived healthy and active. I do have one question, a lot of pictures I have seen have some that are quite a bit more opaque and often with a stripe down the back. Is that something they develop as they mature or are there different grades for these guys? If there are different grades, where would these fall in - they are still quite young, maybe half an inch long average.

Thats a nice batch you got there, with regards to the stripe I see it more in the plane colours than yous, the stripe is known as a racing stripe and some get it some don't, it's not specific to breed , all my sakura yellows have the stripe, I see it develope almost stright away or within the first month, as the shrimp get older the stripe starts to break up more as they moult making it look patchy
