red cherry shrimp?

ddrfreak_tung · 08-02-2012, 05:15 AM

and maybe after awhile we all could have a bi monthly purchase where everyone pitch in for whatever they wanted and we could all split the cost of shipping. =D

It's just sad we dont have a very active community here in vegas. I would love to get into the shrimp hobby (get some CRS's one day) but who knows if I could be like Priapus or the Reaper

I've been there with AZGardens, whew! Just did an order with LiveAquaria- a little less, but still!
Well, there are 6 of us right here that have planted tanks and 5 that either have or want shrimp. There are another 4 that occasionally post. There have to be more of us out there, TropAquarium says every time they get cherry shrimp in, they sell out right away. Petco on Rainbow/Spring Mtn gets cherries, and they go even at $5 apiece… so maybe we have a start at least.

....sometimes if the order is large enough, shipping is free

Even though overnight is really the best, its still a trip when the shipping costs as much or more than the order.

hmm... maybe sometime soon we should all try for an informal meetup.

Good looking shrimplet, Combswillie!

there was a store on the north side, and i mean way way north. it was near an lvac, that's all i remember. they were selling their shrimp for around 3.50 but if you bought more they'd reduce the price. that's where i got my colony of cherries. not sure if they still have any tho

Hmmm. trying to figure out what store that would be. Blue Reef is Saltwater, I think. The farthest north LVAC I can think of is on N Rainbow nr Lake Mead...

yes it was right there, i think atlantis was the name

You still got some shrimplets? My tank is getting algae on hardscape and DHG and it's becoming very annoying. Probably 5 or so

flipanda · 11-17-2012, 09:28 PM

trying to bring back this thread, anyone have any for sale locally?

SINcity · 11-17-2012, 09:37 PM

I just found this forum as my old one seems to literately be going belly up.

Anyways i too am interested in obtaining some shrimp. If none available local perhaps a few of us could put in an order together and divide up the shipping fees.

My shrimps will be having babies soon!
There are several of us out here that raise shrimps.
