Help Identifying A Shrimp

Welcome to the forum 

It's a bit hard to see from the photos, but does this shrimp have any markings down its sides? Female amanos are easier to see as their markings are reddish brown dashes down the sides while males have less visible dots. If there are no markings at all, it is probably some species of ghost/glass shrimp.

But just to check - the pincers on the front, the ones they put food into the mouth with - are they short or long? There have been reports of people buying long arm shrimps labeled as amanos and ghost shrimp, but you don't want any of them in your tank as they can and will catch small fish.

This is a good site to look at photos to compare to your shrimp.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! Markings wise there's a very slight dashed brown line only visible when he's hunched up and otherwise not visible. He's got a brown head with a yellow/ brown stripe down the back, very long antennae and his arms are nice and short.  I'm thinking about getting him some new friends so want to make sure I get the right ones and that I know how to best look after him. He doesn't look like most the pictures I've seen of glass shrimp but is closer to those than amanos. Regardless he seems happy swimming about the tank and the fish don't seem to mind him too much.

Will head over to the welcome page and introduce myself properly shortly,  but thanks for the input
