inverts

ok lets talk inverts, what does everyone have or want to have, i have red cherry shrimp and they are sweet..

Man have you seen those big algae eating shrimp. I would love to have a big colony of those man. I'm not real up to par with fresh water inverts so anyone else have any suggestions?

hey peter which ones are you talking about..

Maybe the filter feeding bamboo shrimp

Flower shrimp perhaps?

flower shrimp get a little bit bigger than some of the other shrimps, but are cool, hey james i havent heard of those bambo shrimp before, cool..

I like the tiger shrimp myself.

hey those tiger shrimp are sweet i here they are pretty spendy..

I have japonese marsh shrimp ( aka Amato shrimp)Neocaridinia japonicus, West African blue mole shrimp Atya gabonensis, and a few hundred Florida blue crayfish Procambarus alleni.
I like the large Macrobrachium sp. shrimp (aka long arm shrimp),but can't justify the tank space for such large predators.
I would also like to start a colony of Crystal Red Shrimp the type that sports a lot of white. I purchased some last summer, but the seller in Texas sent all males. Beware of buying on the internet many sellers will only ship same sex groups, so the buyer can't produce any offspring to sell. I would rather just trade with Pets Galore where you can see what you are getting. Unfortunately some of these things are not available through their distributors unless you will buy in large quantities, and how many customers are going to come in the store to purchase a few dozen one inch long shrimp for $19.00ea.

yep garbird you are so right dude you have to watch those folks out of town and web orders, i ordered my cherry shrimp from texas and they were true to their order, i guess i was lucky on that one..
