    Default Cherry shrimp w/ free shipping - Phoenix, AZ

    Some of my pleco tanks are becoming shrimp tanks, so some shrimp need to go! These cherry shrimp are tough as nails and have thrived in water from 60-500 ppm tds and 65°F to 86°F. While they don't eat algae, they do make excellent scavengers and pay for themselves within a couple months.

    Price is $35 for 20 or $60 for 50, USPS Priority shipping included. Sending out young adults, ~1/2" in size and old enough to berry up immediately.

    The dark red females came from the parent colony where they were color fed. Giving young shrimp a bit of astaxanthin in their food or paprika will increase red intensity if the red coverage is good to begin with, and they seem to keep it even when color feeding is stopped.

    In a bare bottom tank with adult discus, you'll probably get 60 seconds out of them. They'll survive in a planted tank if they can make it past the initial drop and find hiding places.

    I get a clear male from time to time, and those become angelfish food. Everything else goes to folks who want them .

    I received today 20+ shrimps from Adam for my cleaning plant station.
    They were all alive healthy and were showing coloration since I open the package ( most shrimps sold by Shrimp Farms don't show coloration until few hours sometimes a day) swimming around, the packing was excellent heat pack working. Will by more for sure

    I'm assuming they are not going to work in an Oscar tank? BB tank.

    Not as inhabitants, but your oscar would get a kick out of them. I didn't realize how fast angels could swim until I dropped a few culls in with them.
