It looks like a Macrobrachium species to me. I don't know what kind though. How big is it?

[dom]

Yes. There are members in other forum said the same thing. It is around 2inch+. I am having 20 + pieces. Some are huge and in different colors like Blue, red, green...etc. Kinda aggressive species. Non of the fish can get close to them. They will use the craw to attack.

Perhaps it's a "Chameleon." I see it at the lfs from time to time, but it's mostly blue from the ones I've seen. Anyone else have any idea?

BTW, Dom, beautiful pix!!

Hey Dom, any chance it's M. assamensis assamensis; "Red Claw?" Regardless, they're really nice!
