Contaminant species...

Hello Mustafa and All,
Here is one of 3 shrimp like this that showed up with my Cardinal Shrimp from Sulawesi as fry. They are now close to being old enough to breed and I hope there is a male and female. They are hard to get a photo of as they are always on the move, but the body is shaped much like a Sri Lanka (for reference) with the "hump" in the abdomen.
I will try for a better shot if the opportunity presents itself.
Cheers, Bill

So far they are doing well, but still too young to breed. I will update with any progress.

Here is another shot of the unidentified species. There may be 3 of these, but I can't be sure... In the background is another species all together.

Could you observe any egg development in the ovaries of possible females?

Here is the shrimp from the background in above shot, a different species by the look?
Only one of these I think unfortunately

That's definitely a different species as evident by the much longer rostrum (among other things).
