New Atya and CRS variant

[Matt]

New at Aquarium Glaser are these stunners from Taiwan; they don’t know the species yet but presumably it’s something close to Atya:

Male

Female

…and also this new form of the cherry shrimp which they’re calling Caridina ‘Snow-White’.

Isn’t the Snow white-shrimp a form of Crystal Red? And I think these all white versions have been around for a while, although very very expensive.

Edit:

Heres a couple of pictures a swedish guy posted of a form called “Golden Bee”

Stunning, Gustav. Yeah the snow-white is a CRS variant as in the topic title I just misposted above.

Last time I saw them for sale I think they were sold for about £25 per shrimp, and that’s probably pretty cheap.

i’ve seen some on AQ for hundreds of dollars each.
there was something similar on ebay a few weeks ago, 1 shrimp with a price of £800. suddenly it was no longer available?
