Hi Guys, In amongst an order of C. Longistrostris and C. Gracilirostris, I was also given (on purpose) a third species which we havn't yet identified. can anyone help us out? It was collected somewhere in Australias Norther Territory and seems to be happy in 26ºC. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/...

hey all, i've been fishing again but this time i barely even got a nibble, however, as i stared vacantly at the rivers edge i noticed a crab scuttling along the rocks. i spent the next few hours using pippey to lure out these little critters so i could take a proper look at them. eventually i manage...

i agree. the light is a home made hood that has a 13 watt screw in CF bulb so the plants have enough light to go a bit nuts which can only be good for the shrimp :) . the water in our area is pretty soft (~1º GH) i was thinking that the shrimp might appreciate a little more Ca in their water to buil...

i dont suppose anyone has any tips on how to get them breeding, how to raise fry, etc? i would be very grateful to hear them! i am still not even sure what their ideal ph, temp and gh is. there doesn't seem to be a lot on the net regarding this particular species. where did you get your info mustufa...

hey all, this is my 4 Litre shrimp tank. enjoy! http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/8bd073be94.jpg http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/990936f092.jpg http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d3ca8fb9a4.jpg the plants are java moss, hemianthus micrantemoides, a small amount of lileopsis brazil...

i bought a couple of these shrimp one day, only to get them home to discover one was carrying eggs! i poped her into this great little 4 Litre tank with one other shrimp, tons of plants including lileopsis, java moss, pearl weed, and an airstone hoping the little dudes would hatch. the mother carrie...

yeah i know. the melbourne aquarium has one on display at the moment AND ITS A MONSTER! carapace length of at least 35cm. huge dangerous looking claws, and spines sticking out everywhere. this one has a little bit of that diatomical algae growing on his shell which i reckon looks fantasic. i'll grab...

shes probably about 6 or 7 centimeters long, not including her big arms. i picked the smallest one in the tank when i bought her, hopning that i could watch her moult and grow bigger. anyone know how long these creatures live for?

yeah she caught a white cloud as well. wasn't too upseting though because the cloud was really old and emanciated anyway.

check this girl out. isn't she amazing! http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6c2d9403b0.jpg http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/0dbf905d29.jpg http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/c1b3e37141.jpg this is the one i posted about earlier, in the discussion about australian natives. i was think...

awsome looking creature! i live relatively close to the yarra, i could probably mosey down one day and catch one! dunno wether there really would still be some in there though cos the river is pretty polluted. how does one go about catching a cray? and do i need a licence or anything? how would you ...

i live in melbourne, and i also would love to keep some more exotic crustations. i keep a few australian species, though, in a 24L tank, and find them quite interesting. there are a few of the simple glass shrimp (paratya australiensis) and a long arm shrimp (macrobrachium australiense), both of whi...
