Anyone heard something about this shrimp? Found one in my LFS, about 4", light blue and very active. Couldn't find anything on the i-net.
 
It's easier if I search on the right name: Giant malaysian Prawn - Macrobrachium rosenbergi

that thing is awesome.
definitley try petshrimp.com
 
Thanx, but they didn't anything about the malaysian, But (again) they had info about the giant african filter shrimp - Atya gabonensis, which I also found at my LFS, an 1" long. Saddly, I've been told that this shrimp is nocturnal so it wouldn't be seen much.

I bought one of each, one 4" rosenbergii and one 1" atya. The atya go solo and the rosenbergii goes with my bichirs. If the bichirs comes to close, the GMP chase the bichirs away very easy.
