Hi
I am mermaid a new member, I would really like some help locate Macrobrachium species(preferably the Rosenbergii). I have tried Aquablue seafoods and Neil does not keep any , can anyone help me find a whole seller who would be able to supply me with some postlarval stage younlings. Would be much grateful .I am also interested in tropical fish .

Hi ,
I got some Macrobrachium Jardini delievered today(I was told I would be supplied Australiensis) , anyone has any idea how big these grow , I have googled a lot and I couldn't find anything on macrbrachium Jardini, plenty on other macrobrachium species.
Any one can help me find some way of getting hold of some macrbrachium Rosenbergii.
Thanks
Lil mermaid

You sure that's the link you wanted CCBear?

Thanks CC bear
but I dont think the link is correct(unintentional mistake I understand).

Before I joined this forum I actually had a read through some of the conversations on the forum centred on Macrobrachium , but all participants failed to get it from Neil at Aquablue seafoods for he does not keep them anymore , I ended up buying 14 of the juveniles (10 bucks each, such a killer price for 6-7 cm sizes) from an aquarium shop , but they are the Macro Jardini, which may be smaller than the macro Rosenbergii or the malcolmsii(whatever), these however may be close to australiensis .Do they breed in ponds ??
I have given yabbies a go , 2 survivors out of seven (now alteast they are evenly matched one male and one female) , dont know what went wrong !!
so I will keep the two as pets ,what can I do more with them , just not my cuppa tea, I have heard many experts failed too, leaves me with no hope!

I hope every one else is having better luck than me .
