I have been looking for awhile now to see if there are any shrimp native to SA and the only ones i have come up with are rock shrimp but they get too big for my tank so i was wondering if anybody here know of any shrimp that originate from south america

The Shrimp from SA for some reason are very rarely imported so it would be hard to find them anyway... only one I have seen in the shops now and again and that stays small are the Euryrhynchus amazoniensis

thanks for the help guys and i looked up the Euryrhynchus amazoniensis and while doing so i found a shrimp forum so im gonna check it out and ask a few questions and see if they have any ideas of what kinds of shrimp come from the SA seeing as they should know alot about the subject
