Ghosts and Amanos get along fine, but I'm not sure what you have are ghosts. Can you post a picture?

Lots of shrimp are called ghost & glass shrimp. Palaemonetes paludosus is the most common one called that, but many dealers call any clear shrimp glass or ghost shrimp. I've even seen young M. Rosenbergii sold as glass shrimp. If your shrimp has substantial arms with pinchers is is not a Palaemonetes paludosus, but probably a Macrobrachium Type Shrimp
