Thank you for the reply. I have been looking for them for some time now. When I was working at Honolulu, Hawaii few years back, one of my Hawaiian's colleague make an aquarium/tank for me using a plastic cookie jar containing about 10 Hawaii Red Shrimps. My kids love to look at them cause they are small, cute and they swim around doing they own thing. Maintenance was very low too. I changed a bit of the water once a month and feed them a quarter piece of cooked rice once a week. I placed it beside a window so that it could get few hours of morning sun so that some algae could grow. Before we move back to Malaysia, I gave the whole tank to my daughter's teacher as a gift to her. I didn't bring it back to Malaysia cause I scared I will have issue with custom. That is why I am looking for them.

i have 8 of them, got them from a friends who smuggle them from Japan in a small bottle.
i transferred them a big 2 gallon tank, one berried, but now they all hide inside the stone cave, with algae around tank, they hardly come out
to feed on the food i give them.

You have such a good friend to get some for you. You are one lucky guy. Got extra to sell ah? It looks like the Hawaii Red Shrimp in the your photo has eggs under her belly, right?

I found out that someone is selling the Hawaiian Red Shrimp (Opae Ula) at Singapore. Below is the website. I email the owner. He told me that he doesn't deliver to Malaysia. It looks like I'll be going to Singapore to buy them when I go to Johor to attend some events in the future.
