hi john. thanks for leading me to this forum. looks like a great one for info.
what do you think of the piva shrimp john? think it would be something people would like? the other ones have different names..but im pretty sure they are the same as the cardinals. i asked the owner and he said yes..different names..different countries. they are sulwesis he said for the red ones anyhow. |

Hi April,
a belated welcome from my part...
Nice to have you here (I was pretty tired when I answered you first, sorry for the curtness).
I like those pivas, however, there are not many shrimp I don't...
Hi John,
thanks for pointing that out - I guessed as much from the BC Aquaria board 
Cheers

Hi April,
according to this the piva shrimp are allegedly from Lake Poso on Sulawesi. At least I've seen this same picture on a Russian board that sold them as piva shrimp.
They might be the shrimp that're sometimes sold as Sulawesi bee.
However, there are some people who doubt that they really come out of one of the lakes, as they do not seem to do too well in high temperatures. Chances are that they come from one of the rivers leading to the lakes.
Cheers
Ulli |

April
As long as you bring any shrimp that are out of the norm people will by them,,, we want different stuff
then when someone sees what the other has they want it too
Look at the Marimo Balls, they have been around a while now, look how many you have gone through, hehee
All Good April |
