Long Armed Freshwater Shrimp 5cm

Freshwater Shrimp are transparent, with a very thin and smooth outer shell that is periodically shed as they grow. They have a large spine sticking out at the front of the head and a fantail, which can be speckled with blue or green markings. Freshwater Shrimp have 10 jointed legs (they are decapods; deca–ten, pod – leg), well-developed swimmerets (like fans under their tail), and a body that is flattened sideways. They are larger than glass shrimp and can grow up to 10cm in length. Freshwater Shrimp mainly eat decomposing vegetation, bacteria, and particles of algae. They use their first two pairs of legs to grab the food and put it in their mouth.
