They are so pretty...I can't wait to get my blue velvets

 

[bettaowner]

I wish those shrimp were legal in hawaii they look amazing

 

[Jev12]

Why aren't they legal there?

 

[bettaowner]

The state is afraid that these shrimp will pose a threat to native invertebrates. The problem with their theory is the endangered shrimp they want to protect live in extremely salty water so the two species would never meet. A few people keep these shrimp secretly here but I wouldn't risk it

 

[Jev12]

Oh well that sucks

 

[Bb2jdm]

What shrimp is endangered there?

 

[bettaowner]

Halocaridina rubra

 

[aluka]

[bettaowner]

Halocaridina rubra is an endangered species found only in a few saltwater ponds in hawaii.
