The guy I got my crystal reds from had 5 crystal blacks for sale a few weeks ago...he had an ad in the classifieds on here as well as kijiji.

Amanos and cherry's right now.  They're the easiest to keep.  I've had tiger shrimp, blue shrimp, bamboo shrimp...and one small purple speckled one that had claws...couldn't keep that one alive.

I want Sulawesi shrimp...maybe sometime later when I have more time to dedicate to keeping them.

Same here on both accounts.  Amanos and cherries are doing just fine with fish in my larger planted tank, but would love to get some Sulawesi shrimp... they look as colourful as saltwater shrimp.

Has anyone ever seen Sulawesi for sale in Ottawa? 

[pm]

Not me.  I have only seen them in Toronto, and via online ordering (I haven't been to Montreal in some time, so not sure what they have there).

I haven't seen them either, and I have cherries and amano in my setup.

I would love some Sulawesi shrimp.  I have a few of the Sulawesi snails...elephant snails...so I have the perfect set-up for them already.  Menagerie in Toronto was supposed to get them in a long time ago but I'm not too sure of they did.

I have no time for obsessing about new shrimp though

[blueknight0303]

i have sunkist shrimps hoping that they will breed... and my black bees just vanished when i transferred them to my Crystal shrimp tank also have Rilis and amanos. trying to figure out how to make the damn amano naupliis survive for a week....

sulawesi are so cool but expensive -_-

[dpatte]

I've wondered about keeping shrimp. Are they safe in an amazon-like tank?

[daworldisblack]

Yeah sulawesis are expensive and also looks to be very picky regarding water conditions.. so def needs some attention there but man they look awesome!

[Fishnut]

dpatte, shrimp don't like warm temps...except the sulawesi shrimp.  If the temp is over 75, they don't do as well and don't live as long.  As far as other water conditions, they don't seem to like super hard water and a very high PH.  They're very "middle of the road" in that respect.

Amano shrimp are a great starter shrimp.  Cherry shrimp are easy to keep too.

[dpatte]

Thanks. My tanks are always 25C and lower pH. but I suspect the shrimp might get eaten.
