Shrimp ID?

**cleggat** · 13th Jun 2011, 07:26 AM

Well, two days ago I bought three shrimp, one amano (researched to find out), the second is glass (I got told from the store but I am unsure about him too!) but the third is unknown.. She's an inch and 1/4, the biggest out of them all. She's kept with the other two for now and my two african dwarf frogs. Anyone know what she is? Here's a picture of her when I first got her. Thanks in advance!

Looks like a macrobrachium to me. But lets wait for the experts.

I would tend to agree with that assessment.

Anyone got any idea of how big she will get? She's already ate my biggest snail.. She doesn't eat the young ones, only the older ones.. Thanks for the info, I thought she was a marco too but I was unsure.. Your guess is a lot better than a newbie's like me!!

Looks a bit like indian whisker shrimp, hard to tell from that angle though.

Well. I came home today, and found her munching on one of my beloved african dwarf frogs, she had devoured his legs and was eating his stomach... I have two african dwarf frogs.. She ate the other one's foot. I had to put Gucci my frog to sleep today, she was eating him alive, by the time I got him out he was 'dead' until I put him in the toilet and he managed to move his arm, so I numbed and put him to sleep with cloves. All of a sudden she wants to eat everything, including my frogs.. I put her in another tank. She's now 2 inches in length... 3/4 more of an inch since the 13th.. I gave her loads to eat, more than she should for her size the other day and she ate it all and still ate my frogs.. She's also turning a tan colour and seems to be getting darker... More pictures on the other thread for pics!!
