does any one what type of ghost shrimp i have?
palaemonetes paludosus,Palaemonetes pugio and Palaemonetes vulgaris are the types iam aware of.
what they look like
they have 4 red dots 2 on the tail and 1 on each claw.
the eyes are clear cet for the black dot for the pupal.
and they have a thick red line on the anntena.
u can see thrugh them also.

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?
