i've been looking for something unusual to put in my community tank, maybe i should consider these little chaps, they look great but i've never seen them in my lfs. are they rare to buy?

I got lucky and found mine in an LFS but i've not seen any in the shop since.

Have a look at tropicalfishfinder.co.uk, i was looking at the weekend and i think 4 or 5 shops are listed as having some at the moment. If not you'll need to look at getting them online, i know of a couple of sites that sell them but they can be expensive. I paid £3 each for mine, but I have seen them online at £20 for 4 at one site and over £10 each at another.

i have 2 pictus, would they be ok with them?

I imagine pictus cats would eat the shrimp, but i don't have experience first-hand.

Nice work!
I too am an admirer of your shrimp, they are very pretty.

I don't have first hand experience either, but i agree the pictus would probably eat them. You could get cheaper shrimp (like cherry shrimp) to try out with the pictus first and if they dont get eaten buy some more expensive ones. I wouldn't want you to buy some CRS and have them turn into expensive live food.

i wouldnt risk it, i'd feel sorry for any that got eaten whether they were cheaper or not!!! oh well another idea gone!!!

I would think anything smaller than a pictis in the tank would go missing. LOL

Wow, the changes are great. I wish they sold anything besides ghost shrimp around here.

Who knew Wisteria leaves could get so big? LOL
