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.

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...

Although I fish tanking for a few months, but for water planting...I will need losta losta input...hee hee...[]
