Shrimp

[willowstwin]

that sounds fair to me I can hopefully get some cherries from another member or you when they breed again going to buy my nano this weekend for my shrimp tank at work, got a lovely "filthy" piece of filter media to get the tank cycled straight away for them, and some beautiful bits of xmas moss already harbouring some yummy algae for them. PM me and we'll sort something out

arrived this morning, all settled. Can only find 8 so far. For amanos their colouring is wonderful! They've already shown my fish who's boss haha. Here are the best pics I could get...

Thanks Michaelh!

Thats a nice looking home for them and glad you like them.
Thanks for the pics ect. Ect.

i miss that big orange guy already.... Got a handfull of babys pretty much the same colour though

They have 2 half coconut shells with moss on and a small moss ball. They may go to live in my nano when it's set up

Hi, do you have anymore of the orange amano's, preferable adult? I will take 10 if so.

nearly had a heart attack this morning... woke up, turned on the tank lights, looked like 3 were dead so I panicked and fished them out, had a gentle lift of the coconut shell... all there! Little buggers have moulted overnight haha was a tired, half asleep, not thinking panic The biggest orangey one looks darker now and fades to black as you go down towards his legs... he's AMAZING! so so happy. he likes to wander around the edge of the tank then swim up to inbetween the filter and the glass

Can you tell I'm happy?? 2 of the little ones look like cherries, and one is odd, he/she is clear with 2 very thin red stripes running down the side of its body (length ways, not a band)... very odd but oh so gorgeous!

I'd pay to see some (other than mine) with he stripe. Not even google could show me that. The orange 1ns are cool aswell.
Got about 10 growing at the moment D

Wow... Ivr not seen a blue 1. I know the substrate changes thier colour but blue! Would love to see it

 

[willowstwin]

will try and get a picture but he's hard to spot now on black gravel. He's like a dark bluey black colour with only a feint patch of orange left. He's healthy though, swims around a lot and the only one to dive on the algae wafer

How far away are you from Swallow? I go there sometimes, so could collect some Amanos off you when you have some available. I'd be interested in about 10.

Swallow? Gaming place in town? Swallow aquatics?

Is anyone still selling Amano shrimp in Colchester? I live in Clacton prepared to collect.
 
Thanks

Been well over a year since michael was last active, so this post is unlikely to get much attention sadly.
