Mystery shrimp

Hello,

I bought some shrimp labled as ghost shrimp. I believed they were the shrimp on your site, the freshwater glass shrimp. However they were smaller
and had dark off white stripes on the abdomen, dark yellow spots on the telson and uropods, and they had a very, very, bright red stripe on their anntenae. Any ideas?

Sounds like a Palaemonetes shrimp to me (= ghost shrimp). I am glad that you read up on shrimp body parts by the way, as everyone should do.

Thanks,

I like to bone up on information before I talk about it. I hope to study them for a living one day. That is why I am getting a head start.
