Hi all, the brakish spot wher I collect nerites is really a nice one: not only it's a true mine for yellow, olive and black flat nerites, not only I can find nice kind of tiger shrimps, very hardy, but I can also find some nice gobbies. Last week-end, I caught this one for my daughter: On another place, a fellow from Arizona identified it as Callogobius hasseltii aka Hasselt's goby, which can be found in OZ land too. Anybody is breeding some of them? Anything special about the care?

We are currently in the process of writing the paper that will describe these as a new species. DNA and morphology confirm it's definitely a new species.

Any News on taxon? I was just reading Choy & Marshall's 1997 paper on C. confusa, because what else do you do at 1:30am, and in which they hypothesize the split of C. zebra and C. confusa. Colour and patterning is said not to be definitive as plain coloured shrimp populations exist within the Zebra morphology. the rostrum is the most obvious difference and one of the few you can pick on live shrimp. The rostrum on these Caridina sp. 'malanda' does look zebra like and as you have kept both shrimp do you think they are similar? i ask as i have just collected some shrimp from near Milla Milla that look similar to these

Nice, I had some pretty good blues and blacks from my old choc colony.
