I stopped at the LFS this weekend to look at the otos. I walked over to look at the ghost shrimp tank, and they had some large shrimp in with the normal ghost shrimp they stock. I picked a few up and wondered if anyone had an insight on what they might be.

next to a ghost shrimp. This particular shrimp is carrying eggs and forming eggs in the internal green mass.

Probably a Macrobrachium sp.

He is right. Note the claws. :-)
