Shrimps What Could They Be?

[Electra1]

Hi everyone I purchased what was supposed to be a ghost shrimp and turned out to be something much larger still seems to be see through but with lines down it but it about 8-10 cm and has eaten many guppies which were quite healthy. I was told it could be amno shrimp Im have 2 and 1 ghost shrimp which is tiny in comparisson, I cannot get a picture as they camera shy. Any help would be gratefully received.

Amanos won't eat guppies, unless they are tiny fry. They grow to a max of 2", below is a pic of an Amano;

these are not Amanos though. they are machrobrachium. Prawns meant for the food trade, that find there way into our tanks. this is because of, ignorant, greedy and stupid LFS.

give it its own tank or, euthanise it. its not a community critter.
you will find more than one, thread, on the subject of these killers., if you do a forum search.
