Joe Joe Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, I'm looking to add some algae eater for my 5 gallon Coldwater tank and am looking to catch few of our native shrimp. I have done some research but couldn't find the exact place where to find them. I have looked into the river going through Porirua/Tawa but had no luck. Am I looking in the wrong area, and do you guys have any tips on catching them? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_monkey Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I've only found them on streams running out of reserves I guess there sensitive to chemicals. Also spot lighting at night is far easier than rummaging around during the day even in a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried spot lighting at night but gave up easily as I just assumed there's no shrimp in my area but I'll try again. Do you have any specific places you can remember where you've found them?

Bertron Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Did you find any in the Wellington area in the end? I'm looking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
