Hi Oleg,

"Near future" is relative. It could take several months from now before I offer any. They have also proven to be pretty sensitive animals for breeding purposes. I'm working on it. :) But, green shrimp, bee shrimp and Sri Lanka Algae Eating shrimp will actually be ready before Tiger Shrimp.

Sensitive in that they seem to need perfect conditions to breed. Otherwise they just dump their eggs and you won't get any young. Plus...it's really hard to get high quality breeding stock, since the imports either die right away or die days or weeks later (as they went through tortute before they got exported).
