Where do I get Red Cherry Shrimp?

[Leeny]

I've been looking at all of LFSs and I can't find Red Cherry Shrimp anywhere! Does anyone know of an online store that sells them? Thanks!

not sure if they are still selling them or not but worth a try. Seen a couple good feedback reviews on this seller as well.

On the forum is prob your best bet, aquabid.com has some also

Yeah you can always find them on aquabid. I've seen a few pet stores carry some occasionally but usually they are in poor condition and often only stock females (since the males are much more pale in color, almost colorless)--and with RCS, watching them breed and seeing little baby shrimplets in your tank is half the fun.

So buying some from a breeder is your best bet. You don't need to buy a lot; 8 or 10 is a fine number to start with; as long as they are happy with your tank conditions, you will have WAY more soon enough.

Definately the forums. Here, APC, TPT, there's always RCS available.
