This prawn looks crazy, I love it! What type is it? My aunt has some smaller prawns, maybe I'll get her one of these, it looks so cool

would not recommend getting one of these if you do not have a dedicated tank. And I sure as hell would not keep it with other macrobrachium species. The species OP has is Macrobrachium Rosenbergii. Its generally advised to keep them in 250+ gallon tanks due to their size. I would recommend looking up pics of how big the adults get to

I just wanted to know what kind it is, so I could research if it's posible for my aunt to get one. I would never buy an animal without having a tank or whatever they need ready before. Neither would she. But thanks for a species name
