Amazonian Shrimp in Cananada...?

[Lady JinglyJones]

Heya!
I'm trying to find S. (or Central) American shrimp in Ontario. I've read of very few species from that part of the world that seem to end up in aquariums, and all ways in the U.S..

Are any of you shrimp people in Canada? Are there shrimpy resources that I am simply overlooking?

Might try contacting Shrimpfever.com. It's a store, in the GTA. They sell shrimp, mostly Asian, mind you, but the owner is a very nice guy and he's been in the business for a number of years. If anyone in Canada knows about these shrimp I'd expect Tommy, the owner, to be that person. And he knows other shrimpy types too, if he's not sure, he might well be able to find out.

Amazing! Thanks very much!

Judging by what I see here in the northeast US, you are probably no worse off than we are down here for finding Amazonian shrimp. Best of luck. Let us know what you find. My avatar is a crazy prawn from South America. No one can tell me what kind it was. Still trying to find one again...

Don't worry - if I manage to find what I'm looking for, I'll post aaaaallllllll about it!
