Beyond dwarf shrimp.

This research collection focuses on distinctive native Indonesian crustaceans outside the Caridina, Sulawesi and Neocaridina catalogues. Locality, adult size, larval ecology, conservation status and lawful sourcing remain separate evidence fields.

Native Indonesian shrimp with specialist appeal.

Twenty-one research-led visual profiles cover fan shrimp, long-arm prawns and Papuan crayfish. Adult size, predatory behaviour, amphidromous larval ecology and narrow-range provenance are stated explicitly rather than treating every crustacean as a dwarf community shrimp.

Evidence-bounded specialist register.

Evidence-bounded specialist register.

Only species with documented native Indonesian occurrence and credible aquarium relevance are included. A broad Indo-Pacific range does not make an animal Indonesian stock; every future batch still needs locality and legal provenance.
