Whisker shrimp?

Post by rayvendawn »

I went to a local petshop and found a tank labled "whisker shrimp" and in it were tons of males and females and all the females were berried so I assume they are all adults and this is their full grown size. They look like a large ghost shrimp and have the same temperment it seems. I am wondering if it would be safe to house these shrimp with ghost shrimp.
This is the best picture I can get as of right now. I did a search and couldn't find anything related to this.

If you can get a post of the berried female, side shots of both out inthe open, it will help. Close up of the rostum too.
