This is the ghost shrimp, a few aquatic creatures are as diverse as the fisherman. They are constantly eating away at algae making them helpful for lightly cleaning your aquarium. And they're bigger than say a cherry shrimp, so they can be fun to watch. They're relatively inexpensive so they can also be used as feeder shrimp.
So, let's go over a little bit of care and info in regards to the ghost shrimp. In case you decide you'd like to keep them for yourself. The ghost shrimp comes to us from the fresh and brackish water around the world and should be kept in well fresh and practice waters. They're adaptive to different water temperature but try keep them in between 70-80F to keep them healthy.
The ghost shrimp can be delicate at times in fact that you take home a group of them it's almost guaranteed that you will lose one or two of them. So keep that in mind when you're deciding how many you want to take home. Their lifespan aren't that long either and if you're picking up a larger shrimp that means that they're already mature and will live too long in your tank.
If you plan on using ghost shrimp as live foods for say eight larger fish, I recommend you keep them for what I like to call a month of culmination. In my opinion you should culminate any and all live feeders by keeping them for a month. And feeding them a nutritious diet over feeding is actually recommended just make sure you're not dirtying your aquarium.
Sometimes feeder fish aren't that healthy in this period of culmination allows you to ensure that your feeders are healthy and fat. If you plan to keep ghost shrimp as pets or to help out with algae they'll appreciate live plants, strong filtration, and calm aquarium. You should also keep them with small peaceful fish of the shrimp and snails. They will eat literally anything but sinking granules pellets and wafers work best.
