Desperately seeking blind shrimp

vasubandu · 10-31-2001, 01:09 AM

I have a Randall's shrimp gobie and, until recently, his shrimp buddy. But my adolescent emperor angel finally got to the shrimp, and now the gobie is panicking. Anyone know where I might be able to find a blind pistol shrimp (Alpheus sp.)? I really am desperate.

Jason at PA is usually pretty good at special order stuff. Might give him an e-mail.

Vasubandu,

Did you ever find a blind pistol shrimp for your goby?

Also, how are your Scott's Fairy Wrasses doing lately?

Yes, I did. Actually, I found a tiger prawn, but the pair hit it off instantly. Actually, I came across a local guy with another pair, but they died before I could pick them up. Anyway, all is well on that front. I have had the Randalls for more than 8 months, which seems to be a surprise to some people.

I lost the female Scott's. She jumped. I have eggcrate over the openings in my tank, but the male hits it so hard when he jumps that he sometimes gets out. I am once again looking for 3-5 female Scott's Fary Wrasses so that I can see what a harem will do.
