Amano shrimp order arrived from petco-online a few minutes ago! Packaged great with a heat pack on top, double bagged and wrapped in newspaper, and 6 sides of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. I didn't check temp.
...I like that paper plate idea with heat packs......might try that.. huh
So how are the shrimp?
I noticed the Petco site said they were small. That's a good thing, young shrimp ship much better than older ones.

So far, so good...really active and grazing everywhere....they're about 1" long...some maybe a touch smaller...
There's someone advertizing on CL 25 Red Cherry Shrimp for $20...I have a friend that's going that way tomorrow....maybe I'll get here to pick them up for me... :-\
That would be cool. The Red Cherry shrimp will reproduce for you, the Amano shrimp will not.

Amanos, Yep...I know, but I like them and they usually live for a good bit.
