I went to the LFS last week and bought some "green shrimp". I don't think that's what I got.
They also had "Yamato shrimp", which are also called Amano shrimp. I think I ended up with these instead.
I've attached a few pictures, could you tell me what you think?

They are Japonica Shrimp - google images 'Japonica Shrimp' and you will see they are the same....
They only breed in brakish and need nearly full salt to grow up... once 3 months they can go back to freshwater
They are lovely

Yeah, I figured as much ... Damn, looks like I'll have to get a 5g to do a brackish growout tank if I want to breed them ... :19:
Probably for the best though, they're too big to get munched by out bumblebee catfish and all there Greens were dead when I last went to the store.
