FS: Cardinal Shrimp (freshwater)

[nanoreefer]

I have a group of 10 juvenile cardinal shrimp for $120. These are rare, highly sought after freshwater shrimp; they look like mini scarlet shrimp ; most are wild imports at the moment and don't fare well due to transport stress. These are tank bred; I started with a group of 10 a few months ago. They prefer mature tanks with some crushed coral. I also have freshwater cherry shrimp at $1 each (I have a lot of these) I'm trying to see if i can sell these locally first so I don't have to mess with shipping.

you keeping other types? i have a few crystal shrimp id like mates for. cant tell if they are all male or female but i dont get babies and its been months... dont get much impressed with the lfs stock.

also if you want to sell more cardinals later let me know, smaller group would be fine (6-8) hard to explain to hubby purchase over $100 of very small shrimp, he does not believe me when i quote some prices i've heard of. (:

thanks, kate

I used to keep crystal shrimp as well but they died out; those buggers are very finicky; i spent a lot of money on a group of 60 (grade S+/SS) and the population never took off. The LFS stock on freshwater shrimp SUCKS and the prices are ridiculous; they want $4.95 for cherry shrimp! i ordered all mine online. It took me forever to track down a seller for the cardinals; they are still quite rare in the hobby, hence the price. These guys go for at least $15/shrimp if you can find them; and i've heard of fish store selling them for 30 bucks a pop. I have a few berried females and babies right now so I should have more available soon. I can do a smaller group; reason I sell them in group of 10 is because they are impossible to sex (no sexual dimorphism at all), you have a better chance of getting a good mix of both sexes. Hieu
