Hello Everyone :)

I leave shrimp hobby since around 2010 or 2011, then when I was back on 2016, I read that Neocaridina Heteropoda name changed to be Neocaridina Davidi and i just read on this forum, that formerly named Caridina Cantonensis, now changed to be Caridina Logemanni.

anyone, can give Me a link or share the story, why the name of species both above, changed ?

Thanks in advance.

We had a brief discussion about this back in 2013.

The davidii name given by Bouvier in 1904 predates the name Heteropoda. So the older name prevails.
