It's pretty much impossible to provide a pecies name for any shrimp just by reading an approximate outward apprearance description of the given shrimp.

but i dont know how to post pics or even get one onto my computer to get ready to post.

well is there any thing u can give about them, or are they just as harmless as there cusions yer going to sell? or maybe more aggersive?

and the pics of the palaemonetes paludosus shrimp dont look like the one i have at all. mine have a bit of color to them, even what looks like freckels on the "body" of the shrimp, some time there green and ohter times there a dull black. to me it looks like there changeing color or its just the light.

and what about the Palaemon and Macrobrachium types? what do they look like? anything close to what i described...maybe?
