I can get rare FW shrimp from the Amazon if anyone is interested. They are not quite as striking as those, but we do have some nice 'Cherry' FW shrimp, 'Green' and a 'Ghost' type that is similiar to a ghost shrimp, but gets very large.

Is it possible for you to provide any images?

Does the "cherry" variety you mentioned resemble Macrobrachium brasiliense? Might you be able to secure any of the Macrobrachium spp. shown here?

You can count me in, I've been on the hunt for these for a long time.

I will have Waldo touch base on this thread, so he can shed some light on the subject.

I will add all 3 species to the list for next import.

Shirmp by the kilo. Most of them get bigger. They eat smaller fish and dead stuff on the bottom. Go get some mineral blocks if you want to keep crustatia.

There were 3 shrimp on our list and we sent them over to a guy that ID's shrimp. mustafa@petshrimp.com He received like 3 varients of each sp... very noticable in there body structure and color. Most of them were prego too! There is little more I could tell you about this fish.

Most of them get bigger.

Approximately how large? Could you provide any images?

Is the rainbow crab fully aquatic?
