where to find prawns

[shern]

ah

These shrimp are very adept predatores, so you may want to weigh pros and cons carefully if certain fish are important.
I catch them in the rivers below, some times filling a bucket

If they are too small or vulnerable, I keep them in planted sumps, to satisify my invertabrate jones.
Where they do a good job ate eating detritus

I have had certain cichlids that weren't able to handle an indiviual invert on its own, hunt them down as a pack.

ah, wild caught. i don’t think i have those around me, im located in socal and from my local creeks there are at best crawfish and those aren’t it for me. my personal stocking of the 250g has a flagtail,NTT,2 tiger morays and 4 bichirs. the one that stands out to me as a risk form the shrimps is the tiger morays as they have soft fleshy bodies. they get large though and actually prey on shrimp. i’m valuing fish over shrimp here. if the fish eat the shrimp then great! i don’t have to feed em but vice versa and its a problem. they would be cool in the tank though. i saw that KT PRAWNS was one of the only places i could buy prawns along with aqua imports but aqua imports has crazy shipping so i dont know. any red flags in the stocking if i were to put shrimp in?
