The only people who can tell you for sure are the local authorities. Australia has some very strict regulations when it comes to importing or exporting live animals, some of the strictest in the world.

That's right it is illegal to import shrimp into Australia as they carry bacteria which can wipe out the ones already here We have nice native shrimp you can get here. And the price for illegal ones are ridiculous .

Hey ya
I wanted some Supershrimp also know as Halocaridina rubra or Opae ula but I don't think u can get them in Australia or they be very hard 2 find in Australia.
