Research classes and scope
This extension adds 20 scientific taxa (9 Neocaridina; 11 Caridina Lake Poso species) plus 5 documented commercial projects, with the trade list subdivided by genus. It is not a catalog of 25 newly invented variants, and local scientific taxa are not for sale merely because a profile exists.
Environmental caution
A 2024 integrative study found native, introduced, and cryptic Neocaridina in Japan; ornamental releases and bait introductions are possible vectors. The 2021 Lake Poso revision documented locally endemic shrimp in a sensitive lake and river catchment.
