    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Eh?!? Why the French? This is endemic to Bintan? I always thought that rouge-nez were Indian shrimps.

    Native to Bintan, not necessarily endemic. In fact I caught similar ones (although nose not red) north of Bangkok.

    french? just thought it make it sound funky

    Brackish shrimps, but can be kept in freshwater ...similar ones can be found along the coastal from my place all the way to Shanghai. Maybe can be further north but not sure.
