Ghost Shrimp

I like to keep them in tanks where they won't get eaten. I've never seen anything close to aggression from mine.
I have two Amano shrimps and two Otos mysteriouly died one after the other! Don't know if it was done by the shrimps. My cories are doing well though as well as my tetras.
By the way, are Amano shrimp different from Ghost shrimp? Amano being bigger and have dark spots on their bodies, right? Please educate me...I'm a noob.

Ghost shrimp aggresive. No way.
I had 6 of them at one time. They are fun to watch. They did a good job at hiding and only came out when I fed.
I was always worried that I would suck one up when I was cleaning the tank. There very small - 1/2" or so.

I think people that end up with "aggressive ghost shrimp" were mislead and have something that looks similar but not ghost shrimp at all.
i had seven in my 29g tank. the four bigger ones must have eat the other three cause one day i woke up turned on the light and they were gone.
I have lots of ghost shrimp in my 55 gal. They are NOT aggressive to ANY of my fish. They love to eat peas, and their bellies turn the color of their food. My crayfish likes to eat the ghost shrimp and as a result the ghost shrimp are now living on top of the plants and castle. Smart little guys they are. I agree w/ hurricanejedi about some people being misled. Especially b/c some are talking about the claws their ghost shrimp have. I havent noticed any claws of any size on mine.
I've heard about the occassional ghost shrimp being aggressive to smaller fish. I've never experienced it myself although I have saw them take out pond snails.
