I am trying to find 3-5 ghost and/or amano shrimp.
The only place that i can find ghost shrimp around here is at a walmart about an hour and half drive away. Of course you probably know what condition walmart keeps their tanks, well around here they are pretty horrible anyway(50%+ dead/rotten/completely consumed fish in each tank), so i'm very wary of getting anything from there.
The only place ive found online wants $30 shipping for them. If I was ordering several hundred it would be a better deal but I only have a 20 gallon tank (6-3 month old swordtails (thier poor parents died of my ignorance of the nitrogen cycle compounded with my LFS screwing me out of $6) and 6 adult neons) with only 3-5 vacancies and need some scavangers/ground feeders.
I am open to other species of scavenger if the shrimp are unobtainable or not likely to survive shipping. If this species is easy to breed that would be a plus.
All I really have to trade (other than money
) are 2 cheap dwarf water lillies I really dont know anything about. They are a beautiful green with reddish/rust spots on the leaves and stems. They are supposed to bloom but they have been growing for 6 months with no sign. Probably my light.
They were purchased at walmart as bulbs. Unless I can figure out how to force them back into dormancy i will probably have to ship them in water to be sure they stay alive.
Thanks for any leads you may be able to give me.
