Amano, Cherry, or wild type neocaridinia. Would like to get some of them if you have them for sale or trade for plants.

Shane, if you're real patient, you can place an order with Aquatropics and eventually they should arrive. I've been waiting for 15 Amanos for 3 weeks now. They have a few in a tank, but the tank is covered in duckweed, and I don't want anything to do with that stuff. I've been assured they will arrive next Tuesday, and they'll keep them in the shipping bag, so I can just take it home as is.

Hey guys!

Invertzfactory has some great prices on shipping($15) on any amount of Amanos you want.
Ive ordered several hundred with all alive on arrival. You might want to give Pedro an email to see what he can do. Ive ordered fish and shrimp and have been extremely happy.

i wouldn't buy stuff from aquatropics again. last batch of fish had a ton of ich and had a 50% mortality rate in the 2nd day. it sucked.

ive ordered from invertz factory before and they had really small shrimp, which is good because they'll adapt better and will live longer. i'll let you know when im placing the order shane.

These two types can interbred. You can keep them together, but you may lose some of their unique individual characteristics. It would be best to separate them if possible.

Anybody seen Shane?

He's still in town. I work with him weekly in the greenhouses getting the Hort Club poinsettias ready for our Dec sale. I don't think he has any aquariums up and running at the moment.

Do I need to separate them from the original tank and put them into another one to settle?
Thanks

No, Cherry shrimp are Neocaridina species, and Tiger Shrimp are Caridina species.
