The ones I saw at Petco where redish brown. Weird.

The smaller one isn't a Bamboo shrimp. Looks like a Caridina or Neocaridina species to me....maybe this: http://www.petshrimp.com/neocaridinaspblue.html.

dammit!!

but what am i to do now? sure as hell NOT driving back to buffalo.

**JustOneMore20** · 07-02-2008, 06:47 PM

Keep it.

Its cute. Probably eats algae so throw in some algae wafers every now and then.

gil_ong · 07-02-2008, 07:09 PM

if the "fans" on its front 4 limbs (same as the flower shrimp) are any indication, it's probably a filter feeder too.

**JustOneMore20** · 07-02-2008, 07:41 PM

Ohh...i see the fans in the first pic. Then its not Caridina or Neocaridina.

Maybe a Lace Shrimp: scroll down to the last one: http://www.franksaquarium.com/filterfeeders.htm

I would reason that they are all more or less the same. The pics you posted are really cool, so keep them. There is no reason not to get some of the Singapore shrimp if you find them down the road. Call Pet Mart in Batavia. They get new stock every Tuesday.

Hey Buffalo isn't all that bad. I make the trip to Rochester 2 to 3 times a week, sometimes more than once in a day.

you know what you COULD do, COM? grab some shrimp for me the next time you're headed out here. i can meet you and give you money for it. and then the NEXT time, we can go grab a beer.

Gil - that sounds like a plan.

Unfortunately, today my company announced a restructuring that reorients me. Instead of having the Buffalo North - Rochester West Market, I will have Buffalo South - Erie, PA.

However I will still have the joy of dealing with Wegmans HQ for secondary representation items so I will frequently be driving out to Brooks Ave only to be summarily thrown out. I'll let you know by PM next time I'm heading that way.

wonderful. Wegmans HQ is like 10 min from RIT where i work.

MacGregor's at the intersection of W Henrietta Rd and John St/Brighton-Henrietta Townline Rd is a great place for a beer. Rounds on me the first time.
