Hello firstly iv just joined as been looking for help with shrimp
I started with tropical fish and had bought me a large shrimp last week as a gift for my tank i now find im alot more interested in the shrimp then fish haha
The shrimp i had bought me the guy said she was just a freshwater shrimp but i have since noticed green eggs under her so take it she pregnant already from the shop
I dont know which kind she is and was wondering if anyone can help me
Iv showed a pic to a few shops and get a different response everytime!
In my tank i have her along with guppies, 2 baby plecos, a small cherry shrimp, a blue and a tiger shrimp both very small yet

Is it a ghost shrimp?XD
I wouldn't know since am new to the shrimp hobby myself and am sure some of the other fellas here might have some answers for you:)

It's Macrobrachium lanchesteri. Since she is alone in the tank, those eggs are unfertilized and she will drop them soon.
