Pookie Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi there! After a lot of googling, I still have some confusion with shrimp! I read somewhere on a forum from a while back that pet stores aren't allowed to sell shrimp as we only have native ones in NZ? this confused me as I once purchased a shrimp from the pet centre in Lower Hutt (about 6 years ago) but I've never seen them being sold since! I would love to have a crack at keeping them but I'd definitely prefer purchasing from a breeder rather than disturb nature! Does anyone know if I can source freshwater shrimp anywhere in the Wellington region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 You should be able to catch them with a net and a torch at night from local streams as their eyes shine with the torchlight. Pookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Can someone tell me why we can't get amano shrimp here in NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
