Native Glass Shrimp $4 (Normally $5) Each + $13.99 Express Postage ($0 NSW C&C) @ Sydney Aquascapes

12

Native Australian shrimp down to $4! With their signature humped back, these guys are very clear without much colour just like in our rivers and lakes.
We also have some larger native shrimp, great for eating algae. You can check them out here

We also have some neocaradianas as usual:
Ghosts - $4
Red Cherries - $7
Yellows - $7
Blues - $12

These Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp are a great addition to your clean-up crew. Great Algae eaters, and easy to keep.
Temperature: Optimal 20-26°C, but they can tolerate extremes from 8-30°C in the wild.

Dwarf Shrimp are scavengers. They eat algae, bacteria and other microorganisms around the tank, and will never attack other live animals. They have a minimum bio-load and are a great addition to almost any tank's ecosystem!
Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and keeping the shrimp happy in transit!

Keeping with fish:
The general rule for all aquatic life is "if it fits in their mouth they will eat it." Unless you have specifically passive or vegetarian fish, shrimp may be eaten by any fish which is large enough to swallow one hole. Adult shrimp grow to 2cm in length, with juveniles being at least 1cm. Conversely, any smaller fish will live with them very happily. They may eat the baby shrimp if they breed, but if you have enough plant cover, usually enough survive to keep the colony going.

If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask!

    Looks like the same post as the August one.

    It's getting a bit spammy now. Just copy & paste, submit, done - another OzFreeAd.

    • do these grow into real prawns? can you eat them ?

      • Nah, just pets sorry!

  • how much per kilo? and do they have medium or large?

    • These are the super fancy ones you only get in 5 star places, its per 2cm shrimp! The ultimate flex

    Where do they live in their natural habitat? Juat curious.

    • +1

      Rivers and ponds! These you can find all overbthe place actually. We have 4 total types of native shrimp.

      • I assume must be not near metro area then, water seems too dirty for them to live

        • +2

          Oh no, not in the metro of course. But if you drive out a bit you will find them in most national parks etc.

    Good deal for Paul Hogan and Margot Robbie.

  • My previous lot of shrimp were fantastic, but unfortunately didn't make it through the winter. Planning to buy some more now that the weather is warming up.

    Which do you think would be hardier out of Ghost Shrimp or Glass Shrimp?

    • Glass shrimp are actually cold water shrimp, so these should do better during the cold. The ghost shrimp are neocaradinias which are the same as the red cherries etc. Both are hardy but glass ones are better in cold water.

    I see this posted often and laugh each time at $4.

    There's a local Sydney seller who will also sell to the public by the cents. He catches them on his rural property.

    His name is Felix and has a listing on Gumtree at $0.65 each, but is quite generous and will literally give you a hundred or so for $10.

    I used to buy off him all the time and he told me businesses bought off him in bulk. I wouldn't be surprised if Sydney Aquascapes is one of his customers.

    *EDIT - link attached
    Just message the guy and say you want $10/$20/$30 etc worth.
    No need to give him an exact number of shrimp. He's extremely generous.
