Is it about 2-2.5"? Based of the picture and it not having any specific markings (strips or dots etc) I'd have to say this is a Malaya Shrimp.

Im not sure. Could it be a Atyopsis moluccensis?




look at his size, he´s in front of a young male guppy

No Bamboo shrimp are VERY striped; like zebra striped yours does not have these patterns.

Then, I have no idea. This is stranger.

Like I said...Malaya...I'm pretty sure there

Im not sure, because the malaya has the body divided in two parts, the skin is like metallic and the eyes are bigger. I thought that it could be the malaya, but there are many differences

Thank you.

Well that's a unfortunate comparison pic there....If I was to use 2 pic 1 of a human standing up and the next human bending down...its still 2 humans ain't it

Here's a fairly good shot of one http://www.arizonainverts.com/images...ashrimp002.jpg

yes, with the humans its the same, there are caucasians, africans, indian, chinise but all of them are humans. Thats why i know that i have a shrimp and not a frog but the metallic skin against the wrinkle skin...and the body in two parts (like a king prawn)! this is the most amazing, the mine has one-piece body
