Shrimp Rocks

[chris lukhaup]

yes,in the past i always signed with keep on rocking..when i was on tour with my band..i transformed it a little bit ;-)))

In october Thomas von Rintelen, Kristina von Rintelen and me we will spend 2 weeks on Poso and i am sure we will find more new species. It is so exiting when you find new stuff ....i think that Stefan Hummel filmed the moment of the discovery of the red and white shrimp..
Cheers

That is awesome! Congratulations on your discovery. Any more pictures? Will you visit any other lakes on your next trip?

[chris lukhaup]

..i will work mainly on Poso...and some Rivers around. still a lot of new stuff overthere.

My next trip is USA and Chile in Sept. then Hong Kong,Taiwan and Java/Sulawesi in October

[whizzle]

Very cool. I dream of going to those places. Do you know what the scientific names of the new species will be?

[hibi]

Isnt that a ninja shrimp?

[chris lukhaup]

yes,i already have a name....;-)...

@hibi..thats not a ninja shrimp..the eggs in C.serratirostris are smaller and many more. Also different coloration of the eggs. Besides that the shape of the rostrum is different and also the body shape.

[whizzle]

Well don't tease us lol. What's the name?

[chris lukhaup]

i cant publish the name otherwise it will be not valid anymore.
attached a interesting shrimp from Towuti..Caridina sp..could be C.loehae..but not sure

[Fento]

Very nice! I wonder if it's white spotted lateral pattern was common. I mean... have you found other strains "like" :P this one? It's hard to say if it's C.loehae or not... anything is possible with shrimps lol

[imke_j]

i cant publish the name otherwise it will be not valid anymore.

How comes - can you please explain? How is a scientific name being given?

The shrimp from Towuti looks like a wine red form the CRS linage! : )

Congratulations on your new find and a berried one too!
I see tiny crystal ring-like markings on the shrimp shell. May I know what are they?
