Looking For Amano Shrimp. (us)

That's true. At times, I've though about breeding cherries for a little extra cash.

Thx for the replies.

I just called one of the LFS in NYC, and they said that they have cherry red shrimps!

well, I still couldn't find any amanos, but i think i'll just get some cherrys soon.

I hope they do well with my tetras.

Just an update.

So, I went to the fish shop and was going to get some cherry shrimps.

But surprisingly, they had Amano shrimps. So... I ended up buying five of them, and they are doing just fine so far in my 10 gal tank.

Mind telling me which LFS it was? I'd like to know in case I want some amanos in the future.

It's New World Aquarium. E 38th st in Manhattan.

The store was smaller than I thought, but they had nice selection of fish and plants.

They had Amanos and Cherry Reds.

 

[dizzied]

Strange. I frequent that place a lot, and never really noticed the amanos. Always saw the red cherries though.

Yeah, it's a pretty small place. The first time I went there, I thought the "backroom" where they kept most of the livestock was an employees-only room. Nice place though, other than the $25 java ferns.

Thanks for the tip.

 

[myfrint]

Oh.. they have everything in the backroom.

And 5 Amanos that I bought today were the last ones they had, I think.

So, if you wanna buy them, just in case, you have to wait until they restock them.

Lol. 25 bucks for Java Fern? I didn't see that, but that is insane.
