Red Cherry Shrimp availability?

[Fubie]

I'm interested in getting some Cherry Fire Shrimp and I was wondering where anyone here has purchased them either locally or on line. Unless I can talk one of my LFS into bringing them in, on line will be it for me. I'm very hesitant about ordering shrimp through the mail though. Any insights or suggestions would be great.

Oh I also wanted to know if these guys are really as good as I've read at cleaning algae covered plants?

TIA

Found them from AZGardens.com for a good price and quick shipping. Thanks.

well I have them for 3 weeks, and they are still hiding.( with tetras,gupi, and Kryptopterus bicirrhis).I have consider to put them with rainbow fish but they are
( 1 female, 2 males) very small 1 cm so I give up that idea.
I enjoy watching have they clean.
