Simonauv Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I've put these pics up on APF but thought you'd like to see them here too. They are Paratya norfolcensis, the Norfolk Island Freshwater Shrimp. From my understanding it could be the first time they've ever been photographed. Actual size about 20mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Nice shrimp, and nice rocks too by the looks of them. Are they in the wild or your aquarium? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonauv Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 These are in one of my tanks. Rocks were a temporary inclusion for the shots from my geology collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I just noticed that you have the scientific name down as Epinephelus rivulatus rather than Paratya norfolcensis. Isn't the former known as the Chinaman Rockcod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Simon, Great stuff ! thanks for sharing. Oh and by the way, all that work you did with the 'krib project' a few years back still lingers on. I have a female in my tank (bred by Thomas 3 years ago) that has colours to die for ! So many thanks for your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
