The Origin of the Vampire Shrimp

The Atya gabonensis was discovered in Gabon, Africa, in 1875. While initially thought to be endemic to Gabon, populations were later found in other countries in West Africa. For a time, in the 1960s, they were a delicacy and exported to Europe. Later, aquarists took an interest in the Atya gabonensis and other fan-feeder shrimp.
