			Nice shrimp! Looks like it's doing great as it's happily filtering.

			Haha, my initial reaction was "Holy Shit!" because for a second I thought the leaf in the 2nd picture was a hand and finger pointing at the shrimp.

			Hi bpmax
Sorry, it is not a Giant.
Even though one of the Common names is
Giant African Filter Feeder.
And Please watch the language
"Holy Shit!"

			That is a very nice shrimp and thank you for sharing the wonderful pgotos. I like the way its hanging out under the oak leaf... 
 
Nice find at a LFS for sure.

			I agree it is a nice looking shrimp.  You can also see it is safe to keep with much smaller shrimp, I see the bees/bumblebees in the last picture 
 
Newjohn is right about the language, we have some younger members and other's who prefer not to be exposed to it.
Thanks.
