Thanks. I think I have my hands full at the moment. Good news is the Green Balbautis (sp?) are doing very well and I have found a few molted shells. Both the shrimp and the green neons are both coming out more now.

Does anyone have Pumpkin Shirmp? They are an orange variant of RCS.
Also, anyone know where I can find Blue Bees?

I'm thinking of putting two types in each tank. So:

OEBT and Pumpkin (or yellow if I can't find pumpkin)
Green babaulti and Snowballs
Considering Blue Bees (if I can find them) and Blue Pearl

Rachel has some pumpkins but she says that they won't be available until next spring when she gets a good amount for a colony going.

I do have snowballs.

A warning about the blue pearls, many of hte images online are pretty darn tweaked. They aremuch more "frosty" than truly blue in appearance (think baby blue). Occasionally you get a really nice female, and their behavior is interesting as all shrimp, but they are not as pretty as they look online.

I have saddled pumpkins so hopefully sooner rather than later!

Thanks Rachel. I should have bought some snowballs from you after the last mtg, but I was so tired I was barely thinking straight. There are few things I want to order from you. Put me on the top of your list for Pumpkins. I think they orange pumpkins would look great next to the OEBTs.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the blue pearls I ordered have some blue in them. I ordered them from a semi-local guy in Central VA. I don't think he doctored his pics, but I will have to wait to see.

This seller on TPT is offering a lot of interesting, if expensive, shrimp here: Holiday Shrimp Sale

You asked about Aura blues a while back. Recently there was a heated discussion about the Aura blue shrimp. It turns out they do breed true. You just need to make sure you get the real aura blue shrimp!

I'm also looking forward to seeing how the pumpkin shrimp do for Rachel. Go Rachel!

Wow, those are his SALE prices! I'd hate to see his regular prices. I think I have defintiely gotten spoiled by GWAPA prices.

Thanks for the info on the Aura blues.
