Crabs and shrimps

Two nice sites on invertebrates that live in our aquarium:

The first
www.invertebrati.info is an italian site about shrimp, crabs, snails and other invertebrates can populate our aquariums.



It contains many in-depth articles (very good that on shrimp's
anatomy), cards for the recognition of animals, and some magnificent pictures galleries.

Second one Crusta 10 is a German site (also in English), mainly dedicated to crabs, shrimps and crayfish.

It has a more scientific approach and less amateur than the previous. Lists many articles and publications on these animals and even here there are cards for identification / classification and photo galleries.

The two sites are complementary with no overlap and are very definitely two links to keep handy for fans.

'Os males da introdução de espécies exóticas em ambientes aquáticos'

Aquaportal in Italy it's know as the italian aquarium portal and this is what is it.


It's a very complete site with a lot of articles, datasheets, pictures, links and all what You need on aquarium... but it's also full of advertising and for that very huge. Banners and other forms of advertising are always in and the whole is unpleasant... it's, really, saved only from it's contents.
