Finally got me some shrimps! ;-)

So, I've been wanting some more cleaner shrimp, pretty much from the time my last pair died. Actually, maybe before.

There was think hawkfish, then this misunderstanding...

Anyway, I was in a pet store up the road yesterday, waiting for my wife to have her eyebrows burned off, or whatever girls do in such places, and I saw they had 2 of them.

I asked for a price, and was told to hold on while the girl went to ask.

She came back and said, '$10.99'.

I bought both. I couldn't believe it. I think there was a miscommunication somewhere, as I've never even heard of them for remotely close to that price.

I spent about 4 hrs changing their salinity from 1.021 to 1.025 and they're now hanging out in the back of my rock work.

Anyway, I'm excited.

Hoooray!

Right now they're in hiding. I can see antenna, so I know they're just hanging out back there, but they aren't coming out for the camera just yet..

wow great price! gotta love skunk cleaners, glad you got a pair

 

[Grins]

That is a 50% discount on the average price here!

Great price, its very unusual to see cleaner shrimp go for less than $17 here. However I do know a wholesaler in my area that sells them for $10. Those always go very fast.

I can't wait to see some pictures.

It depends on the types of cleaners here.. Skunk cleaners normally go for like 35 bucks..

 

[Subliminal]

Yeah, normally round $30 here too. I think someone messed up on the price...but I'm not complaining.

 

[Sploke]

Wow nice deal...They're usually 25-35 a pop here.

Knowing what I know about prices in my area I just couldn't do it.. I'd have to double check at the register to make sure someone wasn't making a mistake like that..

Hope these guys make it..
