Macrobrachium ID please :-)

Post by Dusko »

Hallo everyone :-) it's been a while since my last posting.
My LFS got one Macrobrachium together with the J. multidentata (japonica) shipment, so I got it for free (nice one).
I tried to find it in the wirbellose http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.html but no luck. I searched on petshrimp but no luck either.
So here I am with the photos. The shrimp is transparent with very few brown lines on the upper body. It is approx. 3,5 cm.
I am sorry for the poor photo quality, the shrimp is inside the acrylic tank.
I sure hope that your trained shrimp eye will get good results :D
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Dusko.

Hi Dusko!

It isn´t possible to ID yor Macrobrachium because its sitll a juvenile specimen. It ycould be one of about 150 species with short to median rostrum length. Just wait for a few months and post a new picture.

Cheers
