Comments
 This shrimp is almost never seen. It is hard to get out of India to the US
without allot of DOA's. The ones i have been able to get in are expensive
because of this. Some of the females have come in berried but i have not
had the time or space to breed this species.

They are exceptionally docile for a Macrobrachium.
