Soothing Shrimp Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What incredibly beautiful shrimp. I have to admit that I really really love the Heptacarpus brevirostris though. Any reports back of successful captive breedings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
