BluDragon35 Shrimp shouldn't be all that hard to get. They are very common in the fishing trade. If you go to a local type aquarium, ie. not petsmart/petco/walmart/not specialized in fish, you can easily find cherry shrimp (tiny little red shrimp that scuttle about, probably $2 is a good price for one of them), ghost shrimp (usually used as feeders so you can buy in bulk for cheap), and the larger shrimp that are sometimes called "crayfish/crawdads." Or "lobsters" but they're too small to be and they're freshwater. The crayfish/crawdads run around $5-8 and the "lobsters" can run you up to $25. Well...that's just my experience with them anyways. I might settle with them, but I don't want ghost shrimp. I've got a couple of wood shrimp already though. I've been horrified to find that the only freshwater shrimp I've been able to find around here are ghost and wood shrimp, and the wood shrimp are new. :/ The only place I'd expect I might find them (and haven't) overprices everything since all their tanks have ich and they lose a lot of their stock... Bleah. They have nice, healthy saltwater fish, I assume becuase they don't want to have to eat the cost of those. Still, I'm thinking about checking and seeing what stores I can find in College Park (since I now have GPS navigator services [directionless]). That doesn't mean I'm hopeful though. But the blue ones that page is selling are nifty: Then again, I just dropped more than I'm willing to admit on cellphone accessories so I might postpone or cancel my plans... I could only keep the tank for a year.

Kansai_Gal BluDragon35 Mmm....where do you live? Is it like a secluded part of america that has no fisheries? '.' That blue one looks nice, but if I were to get a blue shrimp I'd go with the "Australian blue lobster" Its about 4 inches and has big pincer claws and is a very bright blue. 3nodding No, the section of Northern Virginia that's only interested in feeder shrimp. Yeah... But I want something that won't maybe rip appart other shrimp... Oooh...I see...that's a shame. sad
Hehe, yes....the whole ripping apart other living things in the tank is a big turning point for that shrimp. xp There is a nice large shrimp out there that is fully vegetarian....but I can't think of the name....ack! Anyways, its red, gets to about 3 inches, maybe up to 5 inches, and is pretty decent. Last time I saw them they were around 8 dollars. But that doesn't help when you don't have a name, yah? xd

But that doesn't help when you don't have a name, yah? xd I know people love their agressive fish, but it's a big thing to me not to wake up to one fish masacring the rest of the tank. I thought my wood shrimp would be OK with the loaches, but I've gotten so scared that they'll eat them (they are not too big, whereas the shrimp are fairly large) that I've decided to make a tank just for shrimp. Which is where I'm at now. I've seen "algae eating shrimp" for about the same price. They were not pretty though, and I'm not interested in a shrimp only marginally more attractive than a ghost shrimp ($.30) for that kind of price.

BluDragon35 Kansai_Gal BluDragon35 Mmmmm.....mebbie you should think of trying out salt water? There's a bunch of shrimp for salt water and a 10 gallon salt tank is possible.....it just takes up a lot of time to maintain. I'm not setting up a salt water tank for under a year. sweatdrop Hehe, you're running out of options here. xp That's why I wanted to get shrimp shipped to me in the first place.
