Shrimp Availability

[OldVamp]

Has anyone seen any Blue Mole Shrimp in stock in their area? I would like to have another one but I can’t find any in my area, and I haven’t seen any in a month or two. The LFS said to keep checking back, they can only get what the supplier has at the time. Maybe they are out of season right now?

Other common names are Cameroon Armored shrimp, Cameroon Fan Shrimp, and Vampire Shrimp.

www.aquariumstuffers.com Is the only place I have ever seen them. their stock lists only show what they have at a given time, but I've only been on their site a couple of times when they didn't show thwm. I have no experience with ordering stock from them, so I can't say one way or another how well they do.

The Petco store here (in Oregon) usually has a few different shrimps and/or lobsters. I remember seeing one of these blue mole shrimp the other day when I had my eel ordeal. So I guess if you have a Petco in your area, you could ask them. I've thought about getting one or two, but I don't have a tank suitable for them. They're kinda kewl lookin.
