They are a peaceful shrimp and do not eat there young.
  This shrimp is almost never seen. These are not seen due to there lack of
color. They are expensive to get into the country and look very similar to
our native glass shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus). The one advantage is for
the Discus people. These shrimp can take the heat.
