Wild dwarf shrimps in Jurong Lake

[Bbanzai]

When I was young I would very often go catch shrimps in Jurong Lake with my dad.
We would dig at the sides of the banks with our nets and would collect at least 10 - 20 shrimps with each scoop.
They were yellowish/lightbrown but mostly transparent, about 1-2" in length. (looks kind of like Amanos)
I have been trying to find out the exact type of shrimp those were, but its hard to find any info online.
I am hoping that someone who is more familiar with local shrimp types can tell me what kind of shrimps those were.
Thanks in advance!
Peace,
James

Think you are probably referring to ghost shrimps or glass shrimps:

plenty in our local lakes and reservoirs I think.

I think there's a type of dwarf freshwater shrimp called 'caridina temasek'

There is a species of dwarf freshwater shrimp in Jurong Lake, it is smaller than 2" definitely and very prolific. Not sure of the species however. http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ight=shaihulud
