Has anyone seen these?

They are light blue and semi-transparent. They are a fan feeder. I've got one in my 90 gallon and I have seen them at my LFSs but they are virtually nonexistent online.

Are they just a different color variation of Atyopsis moluccensis? I am inclined to think so but maybe someone knows for sure.

Whatever Frank is, he's way cool. I am thining of getting another 2-3 of them once my ground cover fills out a little more.

They are Atya gabonensis, of West Africa (the origin of all specimens in the aquarium hobby) and corresponding regions of Atlantic South America. Adults to around 15 cm.

Excellent, thanks for the info.

Maybe only one more given their eventual size :-)
