Wrong section. I think you're looking for 'Buy sell and swap', which is in the last forum group or so.

Adding to that, it is very difficult to breed ghost shrimp, even the species that reproduce in freshwater as they usually have a full larval stage(at least the common species sold as ghost shrimp), so most people who keep them don't have any they need to get rid of.

You'd be better off going to a fish store and picking some up. Most stores carry them, and they're usually very cheap. Just don't get any with milky looking spots in them, these don't do as well for some reason.

Sounds like Macrobrachium Lanchesteri which is sometimes labled as glass shrimp in germany, rather than what we usually call glass/ghost shrimp.

Pretty sure that I did read that there is a member on here that breeds ghost shrimp however. Found it here, I think that fishyfeet breeds them.

Where are you in the UK? Have you actually tried the LFS's near you....they must carry them! Around me they go for 10 @ £1!
I get 30 of them a week for my seahorse's, they get eaten within 24 hours!

If you havent been to your LFS's, ask them for river shrimp...most places in the UK IMO call them that
