I *think* they are that species, but I can't say that they are with
complete confidence. Our LFS sells them as "Japanese Shrimp" at around
$3.99 ea. They do not look precisely like the photos I've seen, but then
again I think color may be fairly plastic in these guys, based on my small
sample. As to their performance, I think they're great. They seem to do a
better job of cleaning a specific spot, holding and turning over individual
pieces of gravel as they feed, as compared to the snuffle-and-go method of
the SAE. The disadvantage is that you have to have a lot of them to do the
job. YMMV :-)
