And from hawaii!

in all fairness, he did offer 2 dollars back. it was the 1 shrimp short that he wouldn't admit. but whatever. that's fine. i left a neutral feed back since this is the first time i've paid for a heat pack and actually got a heat pack. plus this is my first 2nd day shrimp delivery ever.

[R_sustaita]

Yeah man bad feed back or complain on paypal and they will give you the money back.

Yeh ben is out for now..

Wow he skimps on $2!!!

Just leave negative feedback!!!

ok, new opae came in. the auction was for 20. i recieved 19. counted over and over.

2 were DOA 1 is half missing, and one is doing loop a loop in my tank with everything between the head to first pair of swimmerets is paralized. i wouldn't expect it to live.

so, here goes...


came to me in an envelope, not a box. this sure is promising.


oh wait, there is a box after all!


inside are my opae in a kordon breathing bag, heat pack, and news paper.


already, i see a dead opae and a half opae


one of the 3 pictures i sent to the seller. i get 2 dollars back for the 2 dead. there is no way i can prove he shorted me 1 opae as he said i could simply remove one. so i told him to keep the 2 dollar, cause that's how much his character is worth to me.


sitting in a container for drop acclimation.

my observation is that i can tell this group from my group as my group is much more red. but i think they're just clear from being ship in the dark. we'll see in a few days

bikeguru have a very nice breeding set up too, but he doesn't advertise, so you might have to pm him.

[Totenkampf]

texsun may have some to sell, and tim knows another guy who is breeding. i met him but didnt catch his name, very knowledgable tho

[R_sustaita]

oh the planted tank. i dont go there often. lol

oh ok, i hear ya. tim had several for sale about a month ago. i was going to get some from him but thats when i was told to cycle first so i didnt get anything from him.

[madehtsobi]

[Ca Nguyen]

[R_sustaita]

[madehtsobi]

CRS/CBS, OEBT,BKK

[R_sustaita]

well shrimp is still fairly new. when i was in the hobby and quit during '06 i had never heard or seen any shrimp but ghost shrimp that was used as feeder. and still is.

[Ca Nguyen]

what are you looking for?

[madehtsobi]

i think its just random scoop it up and count and bag them up. doubt many of these guys sex them.

yeh it is kind of crazy. all the other shrimps im trying to get are overseas too...
