carnationcrab Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I got this shrimp from my LFS today. They didn't know what it was and it was the only one, so they threw it in. Can anyone tell me what it might be?? I will try to find better pictures!! Thanks so much! Also, I'm new here, so I hope this is in the right place.

carnationcrab Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Maybe, but my shrimp is clear... Hmm. The LFS said it may be a saltwater shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayphly Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 It looks like a Caridina gracilirostris or Pinocchio Shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnationcrab Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Awesome! Hmm, those two you sent seem like the same shrimp. Well at least I know how to care for it now since they have the same conditions. Thanks, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
