Haha yeah just fed em a lot of sinking foods and that's how they got like that
 
My very trusted lfs showed me a freshwater prawn that I swear was about the size of my hand! My fav fish expert there said that a customer brought it in because they bought it at a Petco earlier in the year as a ghost shrimp. Said it started out about half an inch. I trust the store, but who knows about that other customer... Maybe it's true??
 
I think i have the largest ghost shrimp in the world :) Unlike other reviewers my shrimp has actually eaten everything in my tank, including a 3 inch gourami. he has shed its shell 5 times and every time he does it he gets darker inget-attachment.jpg color.
 
it is 100% a ghost shrimp, i bought it with five other ghosties which have since passed on. i have had this guy for 1.5 years
even if it was a "bamboo" they are only supposed to grow to 8cm

Does he have long front arms? Often times predatory Long Armed Shrimp are sold with Ghost Shrimp as they are identical when young.

Don't be fooled, just because you bought something under the moniker of "Ghost Shrimp" doesn't make it 100% a Ghost Shrimp.
