Bamboo Shrimp

What are Bamboo Shrimp? Are they similar to Ghost Shrimp except for
not transparent? I saw some in the LFS the other day and they looked
kinda neat. I haven't been able to find much if any information on
them in my usual sources. Are they an ok match for a freshwater
community tank?

Thanks.

IIRC, these

are what many shops call Bamboo Shrimp. Hope it helps.

Look up "Fan Shrimp". IIRC, this is what some LFS's are calling "bamboo" or
"wood" shrimp. Myself, I'd hold out for Amano or Algae-eating shrimp.
They're useful as well as amusing. Don't place any shrimp in a tank with
loaches, most types of loaches will attack them for food. YMMV.
