...Liz...my friend has them...he wants to know how many...

I'd like between 12 and 20 but I don't expect to be able to afford them until next month.

...I'lll let him know...

I think I'm going to buy from the Aquabid guy.  I can tell that he is very serious about breeding shrimp.  Don't know for sure though...I just sent him an email.  He's in FL so shipping won't be so bad and they will likely arrive a day before your friend's from AZ.

Just bought them.  2 bucks each plus 15 shipping.  Not a bad deal.  I put it on my credit card

Will you be buying some from your friend?  It would be nice to swap some down the line if we get to feeling that we need new blood.

That was a good deal. I'll probably be buying some soon.

My Aquabid guy is called fastjeepguy if you want to check him out.  If you decide to buy from him let him know that I recommended him to you here on the forum.

Barb, you might want to check him out, too.

I'm so bad.  I shouldn't be buying stuff right now, but I am weak.  I decided that if I were going to hell I might as well have fun and go in a hand basket.  I just asked Scott, my shrimp man if I could put his red rili shrimp in a tank of baby snots.  I don't see why not...If he says it's no problem I'll have I'll buy the auction and have him put it in the same shipment as my yellows he will ship Monday.  All I lack is the emerald greens but I don't have a tank for them unless I stick them in a 10 gallon.  Besides I haven't found a source for them.

[LizStreithorst]

My guy said they would be fine with the baby snots and will add them to my order.  He gave me 5 buck of the AB price and no extra charge for shipping.

Wow Liz, you are doing great with shrimp.  Going down in a handbasket made me laugh.  I never used to know the joy of these little shrimp.  I still can't find out how long a life they have, and how often a female can hatch out a bunch of eggs.  And how often do they molt?  Any of you know??

I have no clue.  All I know is that they make more than enough babies to replace the ones that die.

This morning I did a big clean on the 2 tanks I'll be putting my new shrimp in.  I even found enough poret foam to make a filter for one of the 29s.  I'm gonna have to take the rainbows I'm growing out before I can start a search for emerald greens.
