Monster shrimp!!

[Tetra1990]

In my 10 gallon, i have a single giant ghost shrimp. Along with neons and ottos. It shed on Monday and here are a few pics. The first pic is from 3 feet away and no zoom from my phone just for scale. No predators+warm water+no completion= shrimp cocktail very quickly.

I can't tell from the pic but you may have a Freshwater Long Armed Shrimp. They will eat smaller shrimp but are cool in their own way.

Google it and check for longer than normal front arms.

I googled and none of the pics I found really matched up. It was sold as a 'normal ghost shrimp.' but it could be something different. You really need to see this thing in real life, it's giant!!

I can tell you from the second photo that this is a big female Palaemonetes, not a Macrobrachium. How long is it?

It's pushing 2 inches.
