I had these shrimp in my aquarium for ages, and i always thought that they were “Wood Shrimp”. However, recently, Sankpal (an aquarist from MAS), helped me ID them correctly as “Rainbow Shrimp”.

Here are some pictures of the “Rainbow Shrimp” from my aquarium. They are also called the “The Indian Dwarf Shrimp”.
