Its a young Amano Shrimp they are very bold and entertaining

 

[timkel]

Now i'm confused lol.Just looked at the site you linked to and looked at the amano shrimp,and the 2 smaller ones look like that.This beaut looks more like the glass shrimp lol.

 

[Jo Crane]

Very very similar shrimps both get to the same sort of size and have the same basic requirements here is a glass shrimp pic for you too compare

 

[timkel]

yep that is definatly what the big boy is,so it looks like i got 3 amanos as glass shrimp lol.

 

[timkel]

Here is 1 of the amanos,not a very good picture,they are a bit more reclusive.

Is that a little frog?

 

[timkel]
