Indian Whisker Shrimp are remarkably similar to Ghost shrimp, but there are more reports of them being aggressive to fish like bettas. Ghost shrimp have two faint red dots on their tail, red bands on their claw arms, and often some red on the antennae. Indian Whisker shrimp lack these, have a faint blue tint, and will grow longer claws as they age.
Aside from these subtle differences, the two shrimp look identical and are often sold as one another. One of the other major differences is that the young of the Indian Whisker shrimp will not survive in freshwater, while the ghost shrimp young will.
