That's me doing my research. But today, in was the store, getting some substrate for my new tank, and wandered over to check out the shrimp. These were a really low price, and I kinda like their bluish tint. I'm about to start acclimating them to my second, non-planted tank, I think. But wanted to know, what do I have here? The pictures:

Petco calls them "whisker shrimp"
Awesome, thanks for the info. They are apparently kinda aggressive, but cool. One is berried, so maybe I'll be able to start a colony in my 35 gallon hex. Can't seem to find any care tips, though. (Admittedly a short search, though.) Know where I can get more info?
Looks like Ghost/Glass shrimps sometimes called feeder shrimps.
