    you sure what you have is grass shrimp, or did they say Glass shrimp aka Ghost shrimp? According to your website grass shrimp is estuarine, i.e. it doesn't really lives in freshwater.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Well..first look it looked like malayan..but then the description from the 2nd website does feels like ghost shrimps. If u surf through a few websites, grass shrimps is quite a common name between a few spieces..

    I reckon it should be ghost shrimps. Scavenger...good old street cleaners alright.

    Daphnia <- Currently look at this. Anyone uses water fleas here? heh heh...
