hi!

I was wondering how many specise of Sulawesi shrimps are there,because i`m looking in the shops and getting mails about them and always i find some weird shrimps that i dont know if they are really from sulawesi with no latin name or just (caridina sp.-white arrow bee),...

Is there any list with pics that,when buying you can chek the origin of the shrimps.

Yes, it is. I had them some time ago.

There are a lot of species from Sulawesi but not all are well known or imported.
I have offspring of half back shrimp.

I donīt know your intention about breeding.
Not all Sulawesi shrimps are from the big lakes.
There are species wich need brackish water for reproduction as well. ;)

I have cardinals at home with their first youngs,and i would like to get a of the other species and try to breed them.
Nearest shop with sulawesi shrimp is 400km from where i live,so i want to be 100% when i`m buying shrimps.
