I found this website today looking for information about the freshwater shrimp in Sulawesi.


red tiger for real?
I also just love those black shrimp they have listed. I sure would love to have those and breed them.

There is also a shrimp called "Neuimport" Nashorn Garnele von den Philippinen" Is this a sort of freshwater shrimp from the Philippines?
Does anyone know any species of freshwater shrimp in the Philippines(ulang??)? If so pass on the info, I could find their status and try to bring some back for breeding, maybe.

Many lovely shirmp there that i have not seen here. I would love to see more shrimp enthusiasm in the USA. I know some of my freinds want to start colonies when they get their own place, so it feels good th spread the shrimp love. I cannot wait to see the varieties increase. It also breaks my heart to see the bamboo shrimp at the *Chain Store* beacuse either they will die there, or some kid will buy them and then they will die. I hate those places, they just leave the fish dead and a million tanks use the same water. Ugh, not to mention those shrimps are wild caught. I am sorry the general public should not be able to obtain WC animals to have "just for kicks". That is just my opinion. That is why i respect the breeders because they can take a WC animal, breed it, therefor preserving the species and make it avaiable to the regual guys. Thanks and keep it up fellow shrimp breeders, wether you are professionals are amateurs.

You guys and your crystal shrimp...those insane prices...That is why i love my ghost shrimp, a college graduate like me can afford them.

Hi Annako, i'm sorry I can't help you with your main question, but I will have to agree with you on the Ghost shrimp. They are so interesting, fun to watch, some are quite colorful, and very affordable too.

There are some very cool critters on the website that you posted.

Hi Annako!

This are two photos out of the cams of the crusta10 team.
The shrimp above is a red color variant of Caridina cantonesis, known as "Tiger Shrimp". The latter is a shrimp caught in the wild, Caridina endehensis. A freshwater shrimp widespread in the Philippine- Indonesian Region with larval development in brackish water.

Caridina endehensis, is it widespread in the hobby or does anyone have any intent on it in the hobby? If if breeding it is similar to other shrimp, like amano, whos young need brackish water, it shouldnt be too much more difficult that that species, if right conditions are maintained. Plus it would be nice to keep it from going extinct or super rare, like most fauna of in republic of the philippines.

THe crusta10 team have lovely photos of invertabreates, espcially their shrimps. Very interesting specimens they have photographed.

Hi!

No, it´s rather rare in ornamental shrimp marked. But sometimes imported to Europe in last few months.

If if breeding it is similar to other shrimp, like amano, whos young need brackish water, it shouldnt be too much more difficult that that species, if right conditions are maintained.

Yes, breeding should be similar to the Amano shrimp C. multidentata or the Red Nose Shrimp C. gracilirostris which is now comerically breedet in the US.

Annako, we have a member ZAX who has done quite well with breeding and raising amanos to adulthood. Search key words amano and zoes.

Hope this gives you an idea of what it takes to not only breed amanos but raise the zoes to adulthood
