Red Cherry Shrimp and Bristlenose Plecos

Sandman333 · 01-27-2008, 03:56 PM

I am interested in getting 6-10 Cherry Shrimp and 1 Bristlenose pleco (any variety).

I'm at UCF, but frequently travel down to Melbourne/Satellite Beach.

Does anyone in the area have these for sale?
OR
Would anyone be interested in splitting an order of RCS or BNP in order to save on shipping?

I have seen a couple of BNP at the Petland in Altamonte Springs by the Jo-Anne Fabrics store.

And I think Ocean Blue on Aloma has RCS once in awhile.

Were the BNP mixed in with regular plecos, or were they correctly identified?

Last night I went to Aquaria Studio (Waterford Lakes), the companion store to Ocean Blue, and though they didn't have any of either, the prices were still marked on their tanks. However, I'd like to avoid paying 14.99 for a pleco and 5.99 per shrimp even if they were in stock.

I just went to the Petland and they have RCS for 4$ each

The label for the BNP was scratched off, and then I went to look in there planted tank and I saw an albino one. You could ask the store if they will sell it.

Thanks for the headsup on the pleco, next weekend my CO2 should be set up and I'll call around to petlands about them. Hopefully one of the 3 closer than altamonte will have them for a reasonable price.
The shrimp price is still a bit high, but it's nice to know they have them. Even if I bought just 5 shrimp there, it'd be $20, however, if I send $20 to oblongshrimp I can get 20 shrimp, I just need to find another person who would buy some of them from me.

Why not just buy the 20 shrimp from oblongshrimp let them reproduce and sell them to a LFS that will take them from you?

Thats a good idea, I'll check with Aquaria Studio and/or Ocean Blue to see if they would. I doubt Petco/Petsmart would.
