Real or fake amano shrimp?

[asquirrel]

Hi folks,

I just went and bought an amano shrimp at Petco last night. I'm looking at him / her and although the shape looks right, it doesn't have any telltale markings of an amano shrimp (either black dashes along the sides or dots along the sides - even Petco's site has the right pics). This shrimp looks blank on either side. I'd say maybe he's a baby but he's pretty big. About 1/3rd bigger than my adult red cherry shrimp. If you folks could help me determine whether or not he's a real amano shrimp I'd appreciate it. Pictures are on the link below.

If he's not an amano, I'd be open to guesses. Thanks!

It doesn't look like any amano I've seen, as you say it is missing any markings and a bit dirty brown colour. I have checked my book and there isn't anything obvious there. The only thing I can say is it looks like 'river shrimp' which I have seen for sale on UK ebay sold as pet food (for turtles I think)?

Maybe give it a few days and see if any colour or markings start to appear! Sorry I can't be of more help really!

looks like a over grown snowball shrimp.
