Wanted Shrimps Different Species

[pippoodle]

Hi there

My LFS only have Amano shrimps for sale
I have got some cherrys and they are doing well
I was just wondering if there are other shrimps available that aren't
going to be ridiculously expensive

I seen some crystals on ebay for ~£10 each but thats a bit too much

I definately want some different ones

maybe blue algae,bee,ghost or others that will live in my tank ( FOUND SOME GREEN SHRIMP FOR SALE BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT BY THE TIME I HAD MONEY )

So if you have any please get in touch

Williing to pay the £7-£8 postage or to collect within 50 miles of exeter

my ph 7.3 and i currently have Amano's and cherrys in the shrimp tank - the shrimp tank is not for breeding or anything i just enjoy keeping them

Thanks for the reply

my uncle just phoned me cos he knows i was interested in shrimp
he's been to maidenhead aquatic based at jack's patch garden center teignmouth
they've got tigers 3 for £5 and can order any shrimps i want as long as i have the latin name

So i just phoned the shrimp guy - Alex and he said yes he can get blue's , green,s and should be able to get snowballs

he's next delivery from Asia is next month so i'm going sunday to order some

he told me there's a maidenhead aquatics in wellington that can order the same way

Teignmouth not that far from you though
i'll let you know how i get on and what he lets me order
and when he gets hes next delivery from Asia

He said he's got a Bamboo there but are they difficult to keep cos they are larger arent they and eat differently to the other shrimps ?

Tell us how you get on with the ordering...I am always going to maidenhead aquatics in wellington and they usually have amano and on my last visit they had some bamboos in as well, just waiting for them to start to order some less "normal" shrimp.

I also asked them if they would be willing to stock some long tailed bristles and am just waiting now to see if they make an appearance.

Thats were i got my Bamboo shrimp from..really good store,best around here IMO.

Are we talking about the one in Taunton,in the garden center near chelston round about just before you get to wellington? theres a bow aquatics in the next garden center down? (wilowbrook)
