"vampire" shrimp, 15.00, @ Golden Aquarium


Yesterday at Golden aquarium I saw 2 smaller sized vampire shrimp listed for 15 dollars each. also saw electric blue cray for similar price. I see a lot of people on threads wondering about Vampire shrimps, so i figured I would let somebody know on here. Would rather a forum member get them and have them prosper than random Joe who thinks they are "cool". Let me know if anyone gets them! They are in the front of the store on the bottom shelf near the planted tanks with lots of small fish.

vampire shrimp=Atya gabonensis=big freshwater filterfeeding shrimp

that is a picture of my guy.

COOL! Thanks. I'll give them a call. I've always wanted vampire shrimp, but I never liked ordering live fish online, unless they were really cheap. How big would you say the shrimp were?

I am not good with estimating size.
