I presume you've checked our regular stomping grounds?... I don't know of anyone else- I'd have Canh order some if there are any available in the market. Or step up and get yourself a couple Vampire shrimp- they're extra cool.

BTW- I took all the Big sunshines tonight. :hehe:

Bamboo shrimp are cool, mine is really red much better then the blah brown he was a the LFS. I got mine at Plano Pets and he was around $10 I do not remember exactly. They said they were going to be bringing in more, all they have right now is one Vampire I think he is $20.

biggin
11-14-2007, 04:52 PM

While it was happening I kept saying that I hoped he choked on it.

It took him a good 3 hours to get it down.

I put some little fronts in my tank one time..........and the peacocks were just a little bigger...and they thought I was feeding them....and chomped on one of my 30 dollar fishies!!!

I looked like the Mervyn's commercial beating on the damn glass!! If I could have reached him I would have slapped him!!

biggin

That would suck. At least these guys are not that expensive. I just wish the puffers would eat the ghost shrimp….

These guys are 2-3 times bigger then my Apistos....

No, JFP, USA or Plano Pets are the only ones I have seen that carry the Blueberry. USA has had Bumble Bees before, last time I was there they only had CRS.

$1.5 - $3 is the norm.

WOW $3.00 each?

Maybe you should share...or group buy or something....

Well my plan is to breed them and then I'll sell them to anyone that's a DFWFB member for a "really nice price" (like pennies).

The current source seems to be limited and only comes availavle everyonce in a while :D (no set time or date, etc.)
