Jarviek Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am just starting up a small shrimp tank. (Fluval Edge 6 gallon). I have seen a reasonable selection at Pisces, but not much of a selection anywhere else. Does anybody know of another place to buy shrimp. I have some RCS in my other tank, so am looking for something different. Thanks -Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sometimes Riverfront brings in cool ones...I don't think they have any at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiphany Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sometimes Riverfront brings in cool ones...I don't think they have any at the moment though. Riverfront and pisces are really the only places that I've seen anything past amanos and RCS. We don't have a whole lot here unfortunately.

ckmullin Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) thought i had seen wood shrimp @ the local petsmart the Glenmore-Macloud store Edited March 28, 2012 by ckmullin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ram Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have several species available for sale. What are you looking for? Please send PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarviek Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks. I was at riverfront the other day, and not much at this time, but I guess I will keep watching. I never thought of petsmart, so I will start monitoring them as well. Has anybody tried http://www.theshrimpfarm.ca/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 If you are looking for higher end shrimp, Frank Jiang in Vancouver. Shipping is ~$40 and he'll have the most variety at good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Does Frank have a website or thread where he posts his stock and prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Does Frank have a website or thread where he posts his stock and prices? He usually posts on BCA, just not very often. You can also google "Ebi-Ken" and check out his blogspot which lists what he has available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Canadian aquatics ships shrimp from BC. Price starts around $20 for next day shipping. I second Pisces and Riverfront for local though. Last time I was at Riverfront, I saw some crystal reds, but that was a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarviek Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I saw through twitter that riverfront has some good quality red cherry shrimp right now. Pisces had some nice bumblebee yesterday as well. Unfortunately, my tank is still cycling, so just playing the waiting game now. I have settled on yellow shrimp for now, and will add more compatible varieties after everything stabilizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think their twitter post has a typo. RCS or CRS ! The grading 's' system is for CRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I dropped in on Riverfront the other day, the "A" grade Crystal Red Shrimps are actually more closer to what would be consider SS/SS+ grade. There was something lost in translation there as in Asia CRS's are generally denoted by their pattern type (i.e. hiro / no-entry, mosura etc;) followed by their grade; A or S - with A being the lower grade. The ones they are have are basically A grade Hiro / No-entry CRS. Wayne was telling me this was the first time he tried bringing in higher grade CRS - definitely the first time i seen higher grade CRS like this at a LFS in Calgary!

Jarviek Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Which petsmart did you find them at? I try the pet store in west hills, and rarely see too many shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
