I Wonder If This Guy Actually Knows What He`s Selling?

There was a post made in the classified section earlier, someone had bought what they believed to be a Shrimp, turns out it`s actually a Macrobrachium.

I`ve just been browsing on ebay and found this:
http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/x6-Red-Claw-Shrimp-tropical-live-shrimp-/290499746835?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item43a3225c13#ht_500wt_1156

I wonder if the people bidding are aware of what they`re letting themselves in for??

"An aggressive species which should probably be housed in a one-species tank".......likes eating tankmates i.e fish apparently.

I really hope people do some research before thinking they`re like your average Amano shrimp

Flippin 'eck!!! If that guy is too afraid of getting his fingers pinched to pick it up then imagine how a poor little fish would fare up against it!

Beautiful creature but I wouldn't want one anywhere near my tanks!

WOW what a stunning creature.
I dare say i'd look at setting up a seperate tank for one of these, would be awesome
