wow....very nice...i would take them if i had room....sorry.

[msjinkzd]

wow, great deal, if you still have them at the end of next week I might be interested.

[Algenco]

I have hundreds:hmm3grin2orange:

Check your Inbox algenco.

Check your Inbox algenco.

On their way to you, at least 1 berried female:hmm3grin2orange:

[richberstler]

If I can find a taker for half the load, do you still have any for sale at that price? Would still need to do some other reasearch to keep my tank healthy, but I think shrimp are better than worse for my setup.

[richberstler]

I just got access to a 10 gal tank. If you're still selling, please let me know. Thanks.

[zackish]

Shrimp are great for your tank! I got a bundle from Algenco last week and they are in great condition.

[richberstler]

I'm pretty excited. I just hope there are still some left!

[Algenco]

I have lots of shrimp!

[kurly]

Do you still have any RCS available? I currently have 4 in my tank but would love to add more.

[Algenco]

I have plenty, PM sent

[kurly]

Thanks :19:

[richberstler]

The shrimp arrived this morning. All (or at least most, haven't released them yet) appear alive and well. In fact they seem anxious to get out of the bag and back into a tank. I'd say I'm glad I got the 2nd tank as some of these are small enough to appear as food for my Tetras. lol

Thanks so much!

They are best kept alone, if you have lots of cover they can be kept with small fish.

The tiny babies were extra.
Enjoy!

[richberstler]

hells yeah babies. I thought i was looking at shrimp poop then it started swimming. there's a bunch of them. I'm going to need to do something with my filter... I thought the small ones were small didn't realize there'd also be microscopic sized ones. I'll look around on the site for suggestions on how to rig the pump, but if happen to see this let me know what you do with yours. Thanks man.

[Algenco]

I use sponge filters in shrimp tanks. Cut a piece of sponge about 3x the width of you intake, with a sharp knife make a hole in the center and slide onto the intake. You can also wrap a piece of fine mesh around the intake. Either way it will need to be cleaned often

[richberstler]

Hopefully this is my last question... The really really little things swimming around, could they be insects? I went out and purchased a magnifying glass to make sure I wasn't putting something harmful into my tank. They look like little 'pods' swimming around like a flea or something. Obviously they can't be too harmful cause they coexist in your tank... or maybe thats what the babies look like??? They are just so small and move about so quickly they're really hard to identify. I never had live plants and I read about snails and plants all the time, wasn't sure if there was more to look out for. Just wanted to double check before releasing them into their new home. Thanks.

Think I'll have to do that too..... Does nylon stocking works too ? I think I've read something bout that.... gotta be brand new, wash in water (no soap) and then, fix it up to the intake ? Am I right ?

Btw, Still waiting for mine to arrive.... Ohhh I'm sooo darned excited ! ... lol :19:

Too excited. I had to edit! Hobbs

[richberstler]

I put in sponge for now since I had an unused one laying about, but i think black stocking would be a better final solution since the yellow sponge stands out in the tank.

[richberstler]

OK, through some research online I believe they are Daphina, which is fine with me. Free food source. But if you know for sure I'd be receptive to knowing 100% what they are.

[richberstler]

I don't want to hog up your classified ad any more than I already did. I started another thread where it should be for anyone interested:

[leoslizards]

That's a great deal! I would like to get some but I only have about $100 left and I want to get a co2 regulator and ph controller combo. :\ Do you have any left? I could get some in about a month, maybe sooner.

[Algenco]

I have lots of shrimp!

Here's a picture of one of the ones he sent me!!

I love them!! To bad none of the babies make it.. (They all get eaten)

I've got my small 15 gallon tank cycled now. After Christmas when I can get some moss at the LFS (Over an hour away). I'll want some more of these guys. We you still be selling them?

[Algenco]

Wow! Thats a great pic! the red will fill in more as they get older

[kkevvy]

Awesome! Could I get this many for a planted 5 gallon? All I'd really want is them in the aquarium.

[Algenco]

They would do fine in a 5 gal. I probably have 300 in a 10

[kkevvy]

Awesome. I plan on putting some java moss, some hornwort, and some other stuff in there, with sand substrate... java moss on all three sides! Should I do Co2 or not?

[Dave66]

Folks who got shrimp from Algenco and are happy with them should give him a postive seller rating. Its under 'Posts' on the upper right. Says 'Rating'. Would be nice to do, and positive seller ratings can add up to a medal.

As I found out before this never seemed to work. I just gave rep points.

Unless you have medium-high lighting you shouldn't need CO2

[kkevvy]

I was just wondering from a shrimp health standpoint. But for a 5 gallon I can put about 10 watts over it. That should do the trick.

[Algenco]

plenty of shrimp left.

[Tolley]

Man if i was closer i'd have some... I've never seen a cherry shrimp in my lfs' ever!

[Algenco]

your just a tad far for shipping:hmm3grin2orange:

[~Erik3.8.07~]

could a few shrimp go with a betta?

[Ellen4God]

could a few shrimp go with a betta?

I was just wondering the same thing

[Ty]

I would love to have some, but I am afraid that they would become snacks very quickly...

[Algenco]

could a few shrimp go with a betta?

With adequate cover, yes, although most of the babies would probably be eaten

[kkevvy]

I'll keep in touch, my 5 gal is almost set up.

[~Erik3.8.07~]

With adequate cover, yes, although most of the babies would probably be eaten

aww ok nevermind, dont have the means to provide cover for them right now

[verbosity]

I have 10 of these guys all adult in my 15 gallon.

They have been in there for several weeks now.

How often and how long should it be before I see fry?

There is nothing else in the tank but snails.

[Algenco]

Are any carrying eggs? Eggs hatch in about 4 weeks, varies with temp

[verbosity]

how can I tell if they are carrying eggs?

[Algenco]

you can see the eggs under the tail

[Pr0eve]

you still have shrimp for sale?

[Algenco]

you still have shrimp for sale?

Yep, I still have plenty

[Pr0eve]

PM me on how you want to do this, I would like to buy some from you.

[Algenco]

PM sent,
I have plenty of shrimp if anyone else is interested

[Pr0eve]

I got the PM, I will settle up tomorrow, I just got back from snowboarding and I hurt lol...

[Tigerbarb]

I want some, but my tank is overstocked and I don't want to deal with the shipping of small aquaticcreatures.

[Algenco]

I got the PM, I will settle up tomorrow, I just got back from snowboarding and I hurt lol...


Your shrimp will go out tomorrow (Sat)

[Ty]

can you send me a pm about some shrimp please, or even a email to gojo144@msn.com

thanks!

[karbomb]

i have been wanting some of these guys for a while now. i'll get a little 5 gallon and let it cycle, it might take a bit of time would you still have some for sale in about a month?:malelovies:

[Algenco]

Yes, sure will:hmm3grin2orange:

[karbomb]

you just made me one very happy person. i love these little guys. i'll get a nice setup with lots of java moss for em. i'll pm you once i got it good to go.

[Algenco]

I still have lots of shrimp

[StarBelliedSneetch]

[Algenco]

Rewth, your shrimp are on their way:thumb:

[nutsfu]

I will be starting a fishless cycle this weekend, hopefully you'll still have some shrimp for sale by the time my cycle completes.

[Algenco]

I will, just let me know when you're ready

[Ellen4God]

Sooo, could cherry shrimp go in my 10g community?

[cocoa_pleco]

yep, they could

[Ellen4God]

Nice!!!

Could I get less than 35? I think that may be too many for my community tank, but I'm falling in love with shrimp! Is getting less possible?

[Lady Hobbs]

bumping up

[Algenco]

I've had a few inquiries, yes I do have shrimp available

[Wild Turkey]

Good price, do you ship to US Al?

[Algenco]

Good price, do you ship to US Al?

The offer includes shipping in the US

[Tolley]

Post to U.k? lol only joking.

[hpt84]

I'm setting up a shrimp tank in May. Do you still have some?

[Algenco]

I still have plenty

[Harls]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE??????? LOL i wanna some!!!

[Algenco]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE??????? LOL i wanna some!!!


Wish I could

[hpt84]

Ok, I decide to be impatience and order now. Sending you a pm.

[hpt84]

Shrimps and plants are great. :19: Thanks for the extras.

[nutsfu]

My tank has finally cycled and I am ready to order some shrimp.
Algenco, PM sent

[krisco]

algenco, pm sent.

[nutsfu]

My shrimp arrived yesterday. They all survived the trip and one of the females is berried.

Thanks again Algenco. :shappy:

[Wild Turkey]

Just received an order of shrimp and some plants. This order was everything i expected and more. I think one of the females had fry in the bag cause there are lots of tiny ones in addition to the thirty, and some loose eggs. No problems with anything, the only con i had was a found a pest snail in the plants, but i just ploped in a tank i have just for them, and i havent seen any since.

GREAT PRICES / GREAT COMMUNICATION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE / EVERYTHING I ORDERED WAS IN GREAT CONDITION, NO DEAD.

This is a great seller and i highly recommend him to anyone! 10/10:19: :19: :19:

[Deftec]

Interested in a batch. PM me your paypal address and I'll get you it asap:D

[krisco]

got my shrimp in today. those things are awesome!!!! And thanks for the beautiful piece of java moss. they really love that.

Algenco is highly recommended if anyone wants to buy from him. He communicates great, has great shipping, and always seems to include something extra. Ebay has nothing on him!:19: :19:

[MeganL3985]

I agree with the above posters. I just got mine today in the mail and they are great!! Highly recommend buying from Algenco! Thanks so much!!

[Lady Hobbs]

Yup. He's the best. Mine started loosing their shells the first week I had them they grew so fast.

If you have a regular HOTB, cover up that filter screen with something. I am using a piece of nylon so they don't get sucked in.

[MeganL3985]

I can't put them in the tank yet, most of them are sooo small they would end up being gourami food for sure. So I made them their own tank until they grow a bit more.

[xoolooxunny]

I hope you still have some when i go to pressurized co2!! ( i think excel was killing them)I didnt even know this thread existed, thanks to whoever dug it up!

[Algenco]

should still have plenty:hmm3grin2orange:

[Boertjie]

Hi,
Please forward me your details, I am most definately interested if you still have some left?

[Lady Hobbs]

I can't put them in the tank yet, most of them are sooo small they would end up being gourami food for sure. So I made them their own tank until they grow a bit more.

Megan, I think they will always be food for the gourami's. I doubt you will ever be able to keep them together. I am going to add some neon's to my shrimp tank but won't be putting them back with any other fish anymore. I lost 3/4 of mine being in my community tank. I never saw my tetra's bothering them but the platy was snooping about the java moss constantly and I'm sure he picked off most of the young ones.

Me and my wife would really cry should we lose our shrimps for a snack. I am gonna buy myself a new tank this weekend just for thos shrimps and some glowlight and neon tetras. Thanks for the tip.:c1:

[Lady Hobbs]

Get some java moss too so they can hide in it. And, a sponge filter would be nice. I still need one myself so I don't have to cover up the strainer on my HOTB.

[Boertjie]

I do have a sponge filter after one of my most colourful guppies were sucked up! Thanks for the advice!
:19:

[Algenco]

I have no idea what Custom regulations would be for importing shrimp?

[Boertjie]

Oh man!!!!!!!
I am now totaly heartbroken. After lenghty discussions with various departments of the customs, the official told me it is illegal to have freshwater shrimps in SA.
I so much wanted those beauties.....
SO now all those rumours are confirmed. No shrimps for me.
I am gonna get my SW tanks running now......and I will need a lot of advice.

[MeganL3985]

I wonder why its illegal to have them in SA?

[Boertjie]

Apparently if the sand of the aquarium are cleaned and the dirty water contain eggs it can get in the water drainage system. Should they get in the rivers the shrimps could multiply very fast and cause erosion. That was the comment from the official. I will get to the correct official reason and post it here on AC.
You all must enjoy your shrimps and ...........count your blessings!

[MeganL3985]

I imagine they wouldn't survive in streams and rivers though, would they? If so wouldn't they make all fish illegal?

[toddnbecka]

Cherry shrimp have become quite a problem in Hawaii as an invasive species. Never underestimate the potential damage a non-native critter can do to an ecosystem. Worst-case scenario, look at the cane toads in Australia.

[jeffandkittie]

[hpt84]

Red Cherry is really hardy and very prolific. I can understand why they setup such regulation, but they should allow the less hardy shrimp to be imported.

[Drip Loop]

Send you a PM

[Angila]

Do you still have any cherry shrimp? Does anyone have any cherry shrimp they would be willing to sell? I can't seem to find any around here. please pm me

[Drip Loop]

I think Algenco has some still. Best bet is to PM him to find out.

[hpt84]

I also received three batches of shrimp and they all turned out wonderful. Thanks again~

[Algenco]

Glad to hear they all made it.

I still have shrimp available

[chingy12]

looking for cherry shrimp, do you still have some?

[terrapin24h]

i would be interested too!

[Augus]

Algenco,
35 is too much for my tank, if I were to split the order with someone else how much $ more you will charge to ship to 2 different address?

Thanks,

[Algenco]

$7 to cover the additional packaging/shipping.

What size is your tank?

[Drip Loop]

These shrimp are smaller than you think. 35 isnt really that many in reality. You could put 35 in a 5 gallon tank without any problem if it is properly maintained.

[cocoa_pleco]

yep, you can easily put hundreds in a 10g tank, they produce extremely little bioload

[Jenilyn]

do you sell in groups less than that? i wouldnt need that many, i wouldnt have room.

[Drip Loop]

A 10 gallon can house 2 orders of them no problem.

[Jenilyn]

i dont have a ten gallon ;) i have two 1g that i was told would be nice to house a few cherries. and my lfs wants 4.99 EACH for the shrimps. :)

[Algenco]

shrimp would do well in tanks that small as they produce virtually no bio-load

I have hundreds in a 10g

[Jenilyn]

how many would fit in a 1 gallon without over crowding?

[cocoa_pleco]

how many would fit in a 1 gallon without over crowding?

if you have a alright filter, i would say 20ish. You could always buy the 35 and put the 35 in the 1g or sell some

[skinni]

recieved my 35 today! excellent transaction. Thanks for the great shrimp algenco!! Would recommend this seller to anyone!

[verbosity]

It's been a few months. My shrimp are doing great.
I had them in tank that was swallowed by moss. I moved as many as I could catch to a new tank (about 60 or so). I can still see about 10 at any given time in the tank that got swamped with java moss.

I've been giving the moss away, so I'm sure I've given a lot of shrimp away. Thanks again!!

My shrimp are now in a 30G tank. With an under gravel filter with reverse flow.
My substrate sucks though. It's river rock colored. But hey!! whatever is free :)

[luckydud13]

yo, I might be interested, you still got som

[Algenco]

yo, I might be interested, you still got som

Yep, I've got a few

[Holyvision]

Just got my package from Arowana, arrived a day late, but thanks to the great packaging job, all seems week -- no visible losses (will be able to tell better once they are acclimated and in the tank!

Great deal, great member, GREAT PURCHASE! Thanks again!

My bad, Algenco, sorry.

[TRDNiteLife]

I've had mine for over a month now. After several initial deaths, the shrimp are doing well. I received a berried female in my initial group and several babies survived. Since then I've had two females carrying and am expecting more babies within the next couple weeks. Side note: The RCS look great on black sand.

[Algenco]

Glad to hear they're doing ok, Cherries are tough, a few may be lost acclimating to different water chemistry but they will adjust and flourish.

[Wild Turkey]

Still selling al?

No problems

I'm having some problems in the shrimp tank and won't be selling anymore until I get it straightened out

Ok. Thanks!

Do you know where I can get jumbo shrimp? and will they breed?

[Red]

This is a very old thread. But hey, i will respond anyways. Adult cherry shrimp do not ship well at all, you would be better ordering little babies or finding some adult ones in a petstore near you.
