If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Hymenocera+picta#

Other Details
Other Information:	The breeding success references I have are both for the same breeder and the same batch of shrimp. He listed them as Hymenocera elegant, however I can not find H. elegant listed as being a species native to Australia (and we are not allowed to import foreign invertabrates). H. picta is listed as both a WA and QLD species and I know the parent pair were obtained from QLD.
