to my amazement I saw the livestock list for my LFS and saw they got in some CBS and CRS. I figured id go over and take a look only to find this....not sure who the genius was who said "screw it, throw them in with the amanos and the pumpkin shrimp"

There were some CBS survivors

That's sad. Prices look good there though mark up not bad. Bumble bee must be abundant there. Their set ups are just sad.

 

[bostoneric]

sucks because they probably wont order shrimp anymore.

 

[n25philly]

They aren't the only place with bad pricing though, Tuesday night I was at a place charging 5.99 for rcs

This is exactly why I gave up on LFS to buy shrimps. Plus they nothing about shrimps

 

[Culprit]

Maybe bad acclimation ? Sad !

 

[houbanna]

I thought it strange that the bumble bee shrimp were the cheapest. Judging from the stripes on the dead bodies

Yeah me too. At least around this forum I've seen Cardinia command higher prices than neos or Amanos. Even the lower grade/color ones

i would sue them for shrimp murder... thats like 60 years in state prison in my book...

if you was going to kill them, do it faster... put them in a bag and step on them... sad they had to suffer... imagin one looking at another just wating to die =( j/k about the stepping on the shrimp part lol xD dont do it... !!!

Looks like the shrimp got cooked by the color of their flesh O__O Probably temps over 80F?

Really? $7 for Amano? Those are like $3 around here.

They are here too. Just not this store haha. They're prices have gone up dramatically here since I first starting going in 2008. Don't know what happened

Please be reminded that no vendor reviews, regardless of whether they are positive or negative, are allowed on the Planted Tank Forums.

I have cleaned up this thread for now.

+1 brother


Temps are real critical for shrimp. And also it looks like they didn't even research shrimp tanks or set up a nice home these guys

 

[Solcielo lawrencia]

All shrimp turn white when they die, regardless of temp.

 

[Soothing Shrimp]

My neos turn orange when dead. Look like cooked shrimp.

 

[chocological]

At least they knew enough to put them in water.
So they know next to nothing.

 

[The Trigger]

Whoops. Sorry Anthony. Forgot you can't bash your LFS. But anyway, I'll prob buy from one of you guys before I buy from this store. Like bostoneric said....they most likely won't be ordering shrimp again

 

[Soothing Shrimp]

On the upside, if any of those shrimp survived, they could be super shrimp. heh

I was thinking the same thing. Survivors must have been super hardy lol
