Hey all. Just got 6 red cherry shrimp and I really like 'em. I want to do some more but the LFS wants $4 per beastie and that's way too pricey. Has anybody had success with internet RCS consignments? If so, I'd welcome some referrals. I've been looking at theshrimpfarm.com. Prices look great, but I'm still leery of "mail-ordering" biologicals... advice? thanks

I personally have had no experience here, hopefully Suzie Q will have time to give you an answer (she has had a VERY busy work schedule of late)

Been busy at work...home...and was very sick this weekend ...ran 100.3*F yesterday ...better today but not 100% yet ... Ok...RCS...I raise them...I got my starter from the internet at $1 each...$4 is way over priced...if you want more...I would go internet...I do sell mine at $1 each plus shipping. It is well worth purchasing 10 or so shipping is not more than the critters...Priority is about $8-$10 (give or take)...Express is about $30. There are several hobbyist breeders that I can recommend also Lori

In addition, your 6 will probably begin to multiply pretty well before too long. I started off with 7 or 8 in the fall and now I've got over 20!

I agree with BBG...but only IF you have a male...most pet stores will only sell the females because the males are not as colorful...easy way to tell is the female will have an orange sack (referred to as a saddle because it looks like an english riding saddle) just behind her head. the males usually only have a red stripe or 2 on their bodies. I have Male/female pictures on my Photobucket...let me see if I can find them and I'll post them here. Edit: Male: Female:
