Whisker Shrimp?
Posted: Wed May 18, 2005 12:00 pm
So I was at my LFS (All Oddball Aquatics, in Pittsburgh PA) yesterday
and I noticed some shrimp that they had labeled as "Whisker Shrimp".
They look alot like Ghost Shrimp, but they're definately different
than Ghost Shrimp (which I've kept in the past). I asked the owner if
he had any information on them, but he said he didn't have a
scientific name or anything. He just knew that the shrimp resemble
Ghost Shrimp, but they get a bit larger (up to 2"?). I don't know if this makes sense, but they seem "smoother" than Ghost Shrimp. Almost like clear Amano shrimp.
Anyone have any idea what they are? I went ahead and picked them up
since they were pretty cool (and resonably cheap) and I have room for them.
Any help would be appreciated.
