I have been looking at this forum, other websites and through a couple book for the last few weeks trying to pin down an ID on this shrimp I picked up from a LFS. She was labled just as a freshwater shrimp. I know she is a macrobrachium species but could someone narrow it down a little more? I would really appreciate andy imput. Thanks in advance!
