Looking for an ID

[DaveWatkin]

Bought some amano last night and this guy was in there obviously by error.

Has eyes on slight stalks. Sorry it's difficult to get a picture.

He seems quite agitated so want to ID and check requirements.

Ghost shrimp I think based on Google searches.

Most likely Macrobrachium sp,they often come in as bycatch with Amano.
Some can get reasonably large and aggressive,also known to catch small/slow fish.

Hi all,

Most likely Macrobrachium sp

I think it may be a <"Macrobrachium sp."> ("Long armed") shrimp as well.

cheers Darrel

Oh well he's in with tetras and I don't fancy a shrimp that big so I guess he is off back to the shop.

Thanks for the ID

A wise decision I think Dave 🙂
It's most likely M.lanchesteri,one of my friends had one in a tank on it's own and it wasn't averse to having a grab at him whenever he cleaned the tank
