Can anyone provide any information concerning the Macrobrachium sp. depicted here?

It looks like a juvenile version of this shrimp (commonly called Chameleon Shrimp):

I've had them before....they are very territorial but don't get all that huge. The "scientific" name provided on the German site is most likely wrong by the way.....

It looks like the shrimp I caught at a hillstream in HK when I was visiting last november. Also at the stream were a lot of mitten crabs like the ones what are invading our california rivers.
