mnemenoi Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I had an importer mention these a few months back and I started hunting, but could find very little about these online (Really only German sites and scientific surveys), but wondered if anyone on here had tried them. They appear to be a soft water/low Ph species from a genus I have never encountered previously. Euryrhynchus amazoniensis is their scientific name and they look to be very small (2 cm). Here is the German page I found detailing them and I'll post up a pic from online so everyone can see what they look like. They almost remind me of a pistol shrimp in appearance. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Pretty interesting looking shrimp. I wonder if they are territorial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnemenoi Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I thought they looked interesting. Have wanted to do a South American species, but I hate fooling with water parameters. The Brazilian Yellow Bellied look cool as well, but I think they are a low order breeder. These appear to be a high order, so might actually be worth the effort and should be safe with most other species without crossing. If I can find some of the Tanganyikan inverts that are reasonable I'd be onboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 would not keep them with any kind of fish and i would use no smaller than a 20 long. with claws like that they will prob catch and eat small fry and prob pick each other apart over territory. they are cool looking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddles Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Look more like crayfish than shrimp. Neat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Red claw shrimp look like crags to me but there shrimp. I think someone should selective breed the,. Bring the stripes out more and have a deeper blue or maybe breed clear with black stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
