Hi PunaDJ!
Sorry, I've never tried to import aquatic life into this state so I can't tell you anything solid.
I can say that our pet stores don't have a lot of species of crusacea. Being so secluded, our importation rules may be kind of strict because it's the only way strange species can get here ...

Yup. I suppose you noticed that's where I am. I tend to assume that pretty much all FW shrimp sold as feeders are also known as "ghost shrimp".

I've found it hard to find much reliable info on "ghost shrimp" because many different species seem to come to be commonly referred to as "ghost ...

I read somewhere that crayfish, an aquascaper's nightmare, tend to leave certain select plants relatively untouched. Among them crypts and anubias...

yoyo loaches are extremely active snail hunters. But do their pushy snouts have a taste for shrimp?
