hi, i've been looking for freshwater shrimp for a long time now, well mainly ive been waiting to buy some from petshrimp.com, anyway ive heard some bad things about certain websites selling shrimp. anyone have an opinion about 'www.aquatic-store.com'? or better yet does anyone know of shrimp distributer in southern ca? my zip is 93534.
by the way, im looking for chery shrimp, tiger shrimp, and red fronted shrimp. maybe some green shrimp and bumblebees, but that might be overcrouding my tank. anyone know how many shrimp per gallon? ive herd 1'' like fish.
thanks, cro.

Re: looking for shrimp
Never heard of them before. Much of the info on their shrimp page is wrong (and leached from an outdated site), but I have no idea about their service.cro117 wrote:anyone have an opinion about 'www.aquatic-store.com'?
You may be better off to wait for Mustafa's stock to replenish itself, for Aquabid to return, or for Frank's weather to clear. ( I have no personal experience with Frank, but have heard some good things. )

I agreed with TKD, it would be good to keep the subject off in regards to buying shrimp or where to purchase it. I believe it is alright to post your negative experiences in this forum in regards to one company or seller. That way it alert other forum members so they would not fall prey like others and I have done so far in regards to AZ Garden. However, if you are just looking for one specific company to buy something from, it is best to PM that person or somebody that might have knowledge to that subject. 
This thread is from the earlier days of this board, so I might have either missed it or I wasn't as stringent (yet) about some of the rules that I am enforcing right now. I wasn't as stringent because there weren't all that many people coming on this board to ask about shrimp to buy or offer shrimp for sale. That's why this thread was not closed. That changed dramatically as the forum grew, so I had to take action to prevent this forum from degrading into a marketplace.
I am closing this thread now, but I am also separating "carbon etc's" post into a new thread in a slightly edited form. That should resolve the rules issue and still give carbon etc. a chance to (maybe) receive some answers.
I might also establish a whole new section of this forum solely dedicated to the discussion of good or bad experiences with shrimp sellers. We'll see...I'll have to sleep over that for a while.
