ID on shrimpy

[concord]

I got 2 new shrimp yesterday, I was curious which shrimp they are, 1 is clear about 1" with longish front legs with tiny wickle claws, he has been foraging. As for the other he has a white stripe going across the middle.

It's kinda difficult to use this since we've been having electrical storms and the moon is in the wrong phase. How about posting pics?

Which species? There are dozens of different species of Macrobrachium in nearly every country worldwide. And, they can measure from less than 1/2" to 3 feet in length. They can also occur in fresh, brackish, or marine waters.

Ghost shrimp are cool. I feed them to my puffer. They love them and I love to watch them swim and watch my puffers hunt them.
