Hi Solomon,

That's not a shrimp. It's a crayfish. It's a white Procambarus clarkii.

Yes, I am sure. You have juveniles which will grow up over the next few weeks and months. I would suggest doing some research on the internet about Procambarus clarkii if you want to know more about your crayfish.

It could also be white Procambarus alleni.
