Herman the cleaner shrimp

Ya I think they are cool, I used to have one. well I used to have a HOLE bunch of fish. I'v had like 30 fish before I would always kill them but I tend to have a grip on it now.(thanks to this sight) so, i do think there cool though. Mine would get on my coral Beuity and it was cool to watch.

oh and one more thing. i'm sorry everyone here has to suffer through my spelling. LOL

 

[yamahaguy06]

oh and not 30 fish at one time...

still no new full tank shot, sorry dbacksrat[/QUOTE]
grr...

nice cleaner shrimp--been thinking about getting one, but they are at least $20 here :(

 

[1979camaro]

i think i payed $12 for herman the cleaner shrimp but i know ive seen them for $20 plus

 

[dbacksrat]

my lfs only sells medium sized ones--and i've seen large blood red shrimps go for $50-$100, depending on size

 

[1979camaro]

are you serious?? thats insane...blood shrimp are usually $25 at the most here...besides, who wants a big one...they just die sooner because they are older...

 

[aresgod]

thats crazy cleaners are usually like 18$ here, blood shrimp are 20$, dont you live close to cali? time for a new LFS or get a discount or something

 

[yamahaguy06]

do you guys think I should buy fish from Pet Extreme? or a real fish store?

 

[1979camaro]

i know nothing about Pet Extreme...most chains aren't the best source for SW stock, small local places tend to better

 

[dbacksrat]

a word of warning--i had a saltwater fish die in less than 48 hours from a major chain store
support your lfs--if they close because you buy from chain stores, you and your tank are SOL

 

[yamahaguy06]

ok, I agree with that, there fish dont look to healthy anyway, that is y I was wondering..thanx *PEACE!*

[KahluaZzZ]

WOAH..superb. what size ? Is that 6 mouths ?

 

[1979camaro]

7 mouths and about 5in across at the largest point

 

[KahluaZzZ]

very cool beast. Hey and it's non agressive and hardy ( i just read that ). *thumbsup2

 

[1979camaro]

yep...its a good little LPS coral provided it doesn't get banged up in shipping...lots of different color varieties also, more commonly it is an ugly (at least in my opinion) rust color. ive seen them in a nicer red with a green mouth area also. i had not seen a gold variety in the LFS before and I have had my eye on this one for about a month now
