What Shrimp Do I Have?

[howard2345]

I bought some Ghost Shrimp before and one is obviously not a ghost shrimp..

It was clear when I bought it, similar build to a ghost shrimp but had tiny claws that are shaped like a Y, very small but seem to be enough to scare away the fish. Its about 2.5inches now, its black, its got big antenna things, its got quite a temper on it and is very cheeky, it will swim out and steal a algae tablet from under the common plecs nose. Its great to watch I want more...

Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks

OK thanks.

Lets try it

I'd be wary of that as it may have a go at slower fish.

Nah I don't think its a crayfish, looks like some sort of long armed macro shrimp, cant tell you more than that though, I don't know a lot about them. You might be better off posting your question on a shrimp or inverts specific forum.
