    Aren't Ghost Shrimp freshwater inverts??? :-/

    They sell them on flordiapets.com and they say they are good for fuges.

    Yeah. I thought Ghost Shrimp were Amano Shrimp, which are freshwater. Got a link?


    EDIT- Come to think of it, I kind of recall reading that they handle brackish water fairly well. Hmm...

    That second link isn't like the shrimp I had, must be something else.

    Hmm... it appears Ghost and Amanos are different, but both can handle salt.
