Bee shrimp in Houston!!

[Clover]

I went to Village Tropical Fish today, and they just got in some bee shrimp!  They're three for $35, but really good looking and seem to be of high grade quality.

i saw them too and was really tempted... imo the grade was a little higher than medium compared to what i have seen on the net.

I definitely agree with you there.  I was really tempted too, but unfortunately they're a little out of my price range.   Who knows... I'll probably swing by again tomorrow and be tempted all over again.

At least I made off with some cherries.   :wink:

Re: Bee shrimp in Houston!!

ok, well I ended up buying one after all.   Just one!   Oh, they got in a few more Crystal Red Shrimp, but there's only a few left.

I haven't decided which out of those two I like better...

Re: Bee shrimp in Houston!!

careful kepin bee and crystal red together because they can cross breed. and that would negate either one of their beauty.

Re: Bee shrimp in Houston!!

I don't have a camera, but I'll try to see if I can borrow someone's, and I'll be glad to take pictures when I do!

Yeah they are pretty pricey hence me only being able to afford one because I'm poor.   :?

They use to have the crystal reds shrimp for $9 each, but it seems like they've raised the price to three for $35 or $12 each if you buy them individually which sucks because I was planning on buying more in the future.

Re: Bee shrimp in Houston!!

Most sites that post info that the bee and crs should not interbreed are talking in general about shrimp because most shrimp should not be allowed to interbreeding but bee and crystals are the same shrimp if you talk to anyone with SS or S grade crs they will have bee’s in the tank right there with them I can’t even think of a time that I have not seen bee shrimp with SS or S grade crs breeding stock
