Mail Order Shrimp

[acidbaby1]

Since before I started my tank, I have been dying to keep a Skunk cleaner, and a pair of blood shrimp. I live in fort lauderdale and am looking for these animals, but no-one has any in stock during the 6 weeks since I've been searching. Any mail-order outfits that deliver GRRRREAT live stock?

Are you asking for sources of LR or the Shrimp?

As far as I know, we got tons of Cleaner shrimp in CA, so MO like Flying Fish Express or Jeff's must have some. It's kinda hard to imagin places like Petwarehouse running out of cleaners too.

For rocks, I would personally go with either Jeff's or www.gulf-view.com.

You can get skunk and blood shrimp all day long up here in Jacksonville, FL. If you want call Ray at BioReef here (904-221-0770). I'm sure he'd be happy to ship you what you like or make the drive. I'm sure even one of the shops in Orlando (Ocean Blue, Fishy Business)or Daytona Beach (Poseidon, Ocean Reef) have them too

There are M/O outfits in FL with cleaner shrimp, not sure about blood (fire) shrimp. I've ordered peppermint shrimp and other livestock from etropicals (www.etropiicals.com) which is somewhere in FL and I've been very happy with them. I've also heard great things about sea critters (www.sea-critters.com) down in the keys (where Ron Shimek gets nassarius snails and odd critters, I think) and recently started hearing about Reeftopia (www.reeftopia.com) which is supposed to be "direct from the diver".

I recently saw something about a couple different species being referred to as skunk cleaners and that may have been related to east coast vs west coast, but I can't find the reference right now.
