    Yep unfortunately you are not allowed to keep them at all currently, we are waiting to hear if they have changed that on the BL.

    @Dewald when you say something like that please substantiate it. Just so we can check since we are learning slowly but surely about the new systems.

    @DewaldC I think Angie is asking for substantiation for this statement. As far as we know, it is currently illegal to import and own shrimp.

    Plants and creatures are blacklisted because they pose a threat (or a possible threat) to our ecosystems. Indigenous organisms are blacklisted to protect them and their ecosystems.
