RE: Caridina japonica



 Tom,
  What do these shrimp look like? If they are kinda big they will have a
distinctive tan strip down the back of their carapace. The younger shrimp
will not have the trademark strip. I have never heard of them as 'Flower
Shrimp', but who knows what they might be calling them in America. C.
japonica, and other FW shrimp, are great scavengers. Discus, and other large
cichlids, will munch on C. japonica. So this is not a good idea. For more
