You are definitely too funny! You've made me laugh twice tonight, always love a good laugh.

But yeah, shrimp are cool. I seen an advert for someone giving away some of those long-arm shrimp, and they were free. I would have had them except they were way too far away to travel. But I love watching my Japonica (Amano) shrimp as they work on everything in the tank, and they zip backwards.
And then I've got a tank full of the cherry shrimp. I'd like to have more of the Bee shrimp. A LFS up north was selling some shrimp that were red and white and calling them red bee shrimp, but I don't think there is such a thing, is there?

Crystal red shrimp are a mutated form of bee shrimp, thus keeping them together is a big no no.

I think crystal reds are beautiful, but they are very expensive over here. Cherry shrimp are the least expensive.

Correction, you can keep crystals and bees together. They are they same species, and if they breed together, the offspring will be either red or black.
