Looks like a ghost shrimp. I've got a few large ones in my tank... around an inch or so. Some of the pics looked like a bamboo shrimp, but the body shape looks like a ghost.

Cool. Good luck with them. I got mine to feed my dwarf puffers, but the puffers don't seem interested, so they've become fascinating pets!

lmao...that is exactly why I bought my 1st 2 ghost shrimp and I became attached and they are like family now! I took mommie and daddy shrimp out when I had my Bee Puffers, they were fast but I was not taking any chances!

Looks like a Macrobrachium species, AKA whisker shrimp, longarm shrimp, or river shrimp. The shrimp usually sold as 'ghost shrimp' are Palaemonetes species.
