Can't ID baby shrimp
 

Thing is sooo hard to see as it's only about 1/8".
I don't think it's a Mantis as I don't see any rear 'legs', although it does swim with it's claws tucked under. All I see are black eyes and a transparent body at this point.
It has 4 antennae and a split tail, like a typical food prawn/shrimp.
Guess it could be anything at this point, huh?
Sure would be nice to get a worth-while hitchhiker :smile:

One thing though ...
I don't see any legs, just a whole bunch of swimming apparatus ...
Time will tell

Google Commensal Shrimp could be.

Thanks, ya, very well could be. Too bad the pic won't link

You sure it's not an anthropod?

Do you mean amphipod? You and I are anthropods :mrgreen:
No, definately not an amphipod. It doesn't curl up and is long and slender.
It looks something like the one in this photo I found on the web

Live mysis shrimp? Amphipod? If it`s not either of those I don`t think I would leave it in my tank...

Damn smart phone auto word thingy! Hahahahaha!

Have not laughed so hard in a while.

It's in the rubbermaid right now. I'm hoping it will grow before I set up the 75g so I can get a better look.

:lol:
