Freshwater Prawn

wow, it is somewhat awful looking in its old age...rather trechereous!
 
I think the Macrobrachium shrimps are too cool - one of my favorite inverts, but in smaller tanks are best as single specimens. They are nippy and aggressive.

In real speach, lobsters are SW and crayfish are FW, but some marketer thought lobster sonded cooler or more sellable and we are stuck with it. The confusion over shrimp and prawns is even worse, but they are neither crayfish nor lobsters.
