Yellow Nose Red Bee shrimp

[Lab_Rat]

Saw some of these guys at the LFS today. I wanted to get them but wanted to do some research first. Unfortunately, I'm not finding much on them online. Anyone have experience with these shrimp? Do they breed in freshwater (they're $7.50 each so I'm hoping they'd breed in fw)?

I believe this is a Sulawesi shrimp. Aristocratama lists them under their "breeding" shrimp. Get them while you can!!

It's kinda hard to find the correct information about these ones, they are like red nosed. For a LFS that is a bit high(well for me).

Those aren't the shrimp. They're very dark red, with orange legs and white antennae. The one on the page dxiong5 posted is what it looks like. I think I'm going to try and pick some up tomorrow.

Oh that's a sulawesi shrimp! That's a pretty cheap price for them, so buy buy buy.

I went back to the LFS today and picked up the last 4 they had. $30 for 4 shrimp, ouch! But they're cool looking and hopefully they'll do well in my tank (have hard water).

Here's some pics:

4 for $30, what a deal, cheapest I've seen these is $15 a piece! Nice find.
