Someone is going to have a bunch of eggs soon!

I almost always get these wrong so take this with a grain of salt.
Check http://www.petshrimp.com/glassshrimp.html

These don't appear to be longarms, so I'm pretty sure it is some species of Palaemonid Shrimp.

LOL milalic! I know where you got those pics! I did find something while I was trying to look for another shrimp ID. I did find some pics on Google and some info on Macrobrachium lanchesteri, or "rice prawn".

That's Macrobrachium lanchesteri or a closely related species/subspecies. The asian "ghost/glass shrimp."
