New Shrimp from Sulawesi...

Post by krisw »

Forgive me if I'm late on this news, but it looks like there's a whole group of new shrimp coming in from Indonesia. The shrimp are absolutely spectacular in coloration. (click thru for pictures)

And it looks like Planet Inverts is going to have some in stock soon:

(They're not cheap $40-$45/shrimp)

Beautiful shrimp.

I've been looking for something new since I'm starting to get a bit bored with red cherries, bumblebees and the like. I think Ill wait until they get a bit cheaper though.

Cheers.

Sure, but we'll charge interest... But, assuming you'll have no trouble breeding them, that won't be a problem, right? ;-)

Jeff, really, on 1 cm? That makes them a bit less appealing, but do you know which species? I think they're are a few different species (maybe genus) that're new....

Ghazanfar's idea is the best. I was thinking about that. By the time I learn how to handle shrimp he'll have a bunch ready for the group.

I'm sorry Ghazanfar, but those shrimp require Erio Type 2, and that unfortunately eliminates you from the competition! :mrgreen:

Meh. That plant is overrated. I never really wanted to grow it anyway.
