...and drive out to Petsmart of all places!! I just went to look around and they had red-nose shrimp for $2.69 each...needless to say I bought all they had They also had red ramshorns for $.99 each and a few ivory mystery snails mixed in with the golds for $1.25 each in case anyone's into those...woohoo! I love the rudolph shrimp!
there was just a thread about them a few days ago -- they are probably much like the amano shrimp -- needing saltwater for the larvae to survive. Definately not quite as easy as cherries.
I find them very entertaining. They do a lot of swimming, and are often on the move around the tank. They make a good contrast to the other shrimps, and so I like to keep a few around. From what I have been reading, they might need brackish water to breed
Well... I guess people here either do not know about FW shrimps or don't care about them. As a result, stores only stock what people want.
I have only seen japonicas and ghosts, nothing else. Maybe if I lived closer to Orlando I'd have a better chance but I need to take a 45 minute drive to get to the nearest "half-way" decent store and with my work it is kind of hard.
