Invasion of the giant.. what?

[Frostpaw]

Ok. So... this thing came in a bag of japonica. Its almost over 2 inches long and i have no clue what it is... but i know its not a jamponica. Sorry for the bad photos i only ever catch the odd glimps of it!

Some sort of macro shrimp?

[Frostpaw]

I SAW IT AGAIN!

Its body seems to be slightly blue/blackish with a gold looking strip. Its not clear like the japonica is... And it appears to be growing...

Better pics....

Looks like my Bamboo shrimp

Not sure if that's what yours is though.

But if it is, they are great for eating debris

ps looking again it doesn't seem to have the fan claws, so don't think it is

[Frostpaw]

are you sure? it doesnt look like pictures of any bamboo shrimp ive seen?

No, not sure at all, I've had another look and it doesn't have the fan claws and it's not the same colour

Looks like some sort of shrimp though do you think?

[Frostpaw]

it does... i measured it, its not over 2inches, and its antenae add another 2 inches.. so tail to antenae tip is over 4 inches!

Deffo a macro shrimp species, possibly a fuzzy claw or red claw.

What are you keeping with it? Macro's tend to be hungry

Just seen above ^^^ Esfa has Id it for you
