Ok heres the deal. I purchased some Cherry Shrimp last Sunday. They looked to be young shrimp to me but I am not experienced with them so couldn't say for sure about age. The largest was approx half an inch in size. I looked at all the shrimp VERY closely when I purchased them & for days after but ...

They have switches to OZONE.

After hearing stories like his I am sure glad my city completely went away from using Chlorine & chloramines. They have switched to OZONE. Fantastic. Water changes are a breeeze now.

One article I saw indicated these are native to the US. If so, anyone know where they would be found?

Here is another good article about them.
