I ended up with two of these tiny clear shrimp in my tank from a local pet store. Its definitely not a grass or ghost shrimp. I actually have a ghost shrimp in my tank as well and they look nothing alike, aside from being clear. Someone help!

Can you please post a picture? I cannot see your video. I know of quite a few clear shrimp, but I cannot confirm if it’s one of them without seeing it.

Its hard to get a good picture. Hopefully this helps. They have relatively large claws in comparison to their bodies.

Their antennae are pretty short and very thin. They act nothing like my peppermint and ghost shrimp. Their personalities kind of remind me of the bumblebee shrimp I had a few years ago. Only they look nothing alike.
