Hi, would you recommend some LFS that carry cherry shrimp in DC area?

You'll be hard pressed to find any stores that sell anything else but Amanos and Filter Shrimp (Wood Shrimp). I don't anticipate too many of these little shrimp showing up in stores anytime soon or maybe ever, just like you do not see many of the colorful little killiefish. Stores tend to not know how to keep these shrimp and end up killing them.

If you don't mind driving up to Baltimore both Aquarium Center and Exotic Aquatics both carry them on a regular basis.

Thanks, guys.
Actually my first cherry shrimps are from Aquarium Center. I will check it if I get some time.

Did you get your cherry's yet?

Maybe we can do a group order or something here in our area.

Yes, I did! Let me know how much you can get it! I can't post on GWAPA since I am not a participating member. Do you think they will let me join the group buy?

Thanks again Nathan! How's your cherry shrimps doin'?
