Gold Spotted Shrimps....

[mattlee]

after a visit to an lfs i came home with 2 new shrimps, labelled as gold spotted shrimps. they are quite a large shrimp with a clear body similar to amanos but they have really bright gold specs along the back down to the tail. they are also very similar to glass shrimp as they have very small visible pincers. i cant seem to find anything on them when searching the net, so have any of you guys come accross any before or keep any? are they a safe addition?

yeah very similar although the max size of 3cm is wrong, the lfs said 6cm max growth and mine are more than 3cm already but yeah they are very similar to those, them or they......
