Any local source of Macrobrachium sp. shrimp

[alexv]

I have bought a bunch of Amano shrimp from Big Al's a while back and amongst them there were two shrimp that were not amano. Now they have grown considerably larger and are definitely of Macrobrachium species according to my ID. Most likely Macrobrachium assamensis, or M. lanchesteri. They have these long claws. Simply love them.

Anyway, I'd like to get some more. Anyone knows if any local LFS carry them?

They look very similar to the ghost shrimp I picked up at petsmart a few months back.

I would suggest checking out local stores ghost shrimp tanks as they seemed to look similar and mixed in together.

I will keep my eyes open in Toronto in 2 weeks to see if I can find any.

No, ghost shrimp are different. They are almost completely transparent and lack the long claws these guys have.
