Get a delivery of shrimp off ebay. The listing just said 20 mixed shrimp including cherrys, blues and algae. I have just put them into the holding tank and so far I have counted 5 tigers, 5 cherrys, 5 blues(im not 100% what these are) and the other 5 im not sure of (they are NOT amanos thankfully). One of very odly shaped and may be a red nose shrimp. I dont think they are ghost shrimp either as one is berried and the eggs are dark brown not green. Oh and some of the others are berried too :hyper:
 
I know :fun:

I can also confirm one of the misellanious "algae" shimp is a young rainbow/malaya shrimp...if its male then im in business!!
 
Well here is the final rundown

Tiger x 5
Cherry x 6
Blue x 4
Ghost(?) x 5
Misc x 11 (at least 2 are rainbows, 2/3, look like wild form cherry and one looks like a red nose)
Shrimplets x ? (before I poured the rest of the water I spotted at least 3).

Oh and my 5 bees

Not bad B-)
 
how much did that cost, and where did you get them from, if you dont mind me asking? :shifty: :shifty:

The mixed pack was £27(inc postage) off ebay and the bees were £2.5 each off aqua essentials(I was buying wood from there anyway).

Heres some pics of my wood and shrimp

Thanks! Looks like i'll have to save up... ;)

That wood is awesome! :drool:
 
Wow thats a great selection I was considering getting some more shrimp to live in my big tank and have looked at those on ebay, but with the fish i'm planning to get I think dwarf shrimp may be too small and more Anamo will be my best choice.
