saikoo Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi all, If you happen to catch this shrimp in your tank, please do not kill it. You can put it in a separate container and pm me and I will collect it from you. I can also give you a small token or do a swop with you. Let me know what you want.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted March 1, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2004 why dun you buy them? .. there seems to be quite a few here and there.. somemore got many different types.. Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

SRC Member element Posted March 1, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2004 oops! you were too late... i just threw mine away last night. will pm you if i managed to get the other 1 in my tank, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timzhiquan Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 why not just buy one? the ones found in LR are usually unattractive, and too small if you want to watch them killing prey such as FW crayfish a peacock mantis shrimp can cost as low as 12 bucks. saw at L35 b4. both male and female. i bought mine for slightly more. a 5 inch long female.
