Dear AQUASAUR
Youe pictures are very nice!
It is not Neocaridina sp., from your pict.1, it is clear belong to Caridina sp.. it is also not Caridina japonica, for C.japonica has longer rostrum.Maybe it is a new species to science. Of course, if you can provide the picts.of the first male pleopod and the second male pleopod, maybe identify it. Welcome exchange idea!

It does look like what's sold as "Amano shrimp" or "japonica" in stores, though. If it's really *the* Caridina japonica is another question. It's definitely a closely related shrimp or subspecies of some sort. Here in the US and Europe you do see some variation in the "Amano shrimp" that are imported. Some have short rostra, others longer ones. Some reach huge sizes while others stay somewhat smaller. What they all share is the "dot pattern" that makes the Amano shrimp so distinctive. In any case, as Zhaoliang already implied, even with a "common" shrimp such as the Amano shrimp the scientific classification is not set in stone yet.

My question is back about these “Bulgarian variety” of Caridina Japonica…?
Before 3 days I saw my bigest pregant female with empty abdomen…
and much little shrimps larvae roaming in the tank …
I know only that, to raise the larvae of that shrimp - they will need Brackish (or Marine ?) water to survive …
Will somebody tell me something more and special about it, please…:idea:

Hi Aquasaur, breeding Amanos seems to be a hot topic, if you do a search you should be able to find a lot of info about it but check this link viewtopic.php?t=1688&highlight=amano they have a long discussion as well as links to other success stories.AQUASAUR wrote:
