Scientific papers naming Sulawesi shrimp?

Post by pixl8r »

Greetings,

It's been a while, health and life have been an adventure. :)

I was recently researching more shrimp, as my addiction requires, and I came across a Taiwan site that has images of obvious Sulawesi species, but with Macrobrachium (actually Macrobracium sp.), as the part of their name. I have never heard, nor read of any such classification, until I came across this gallery.

The example image can be found here. The shrimp name is: Macrobracium sp. 'Towuti beauty'.

Here is the link to the gallery.

There are images that, to me, have the correct genus of Macrobrachium. Can anyone lead me to more information? Or debunk the potential bunkness of this site?

Thanks!
Kary

Hey Kary,

It's all nonsense. They are Caridina spp.
