Recommended Posts

Broodstock originated from Iwarna few months ago. Shrimps range from 1cm - 2cm from telson to tip of rostrum. They are about 2-3 months old. Fast growers, parasite free. Prefer to sell in 2 packages due to time constraints.

Pack 1 - 10 for $100

Pack 2 - 5 for $60

Collection in east, near Bedok mrt, after office hours.

Always something more important than fish.

The Peppermint Shrimp, Lysmata wurdemanni, isn't the greatest cleaner, but at least they'll keep unwanted Aiptasia anemones in check.

These fella don't come in often ever since PR close down as they are one of the few whom will frequently bring in these shrimps.

Thanks for the kind words. Actually there is someone helping me in this aspect. It's rather impossible to manage alone. I would like to clarify that the peppermint shrimps in the trade imported nowadays are likely to be L. boggessi and not L. wurdemanni as previously claimed. However, it takes aiptasia as well. :thanks:

Apologies to those whom I cannot match my schedule. Will only be free on weekdays (except this Tuesday) after 7pm and on weekends (hopefully in the mornings). It would be best if interested parties can self-collect if not it might take some time for me to get back to you. :peace::thanks:

2 months old will be very very small. around 1 inches. I got 4 of them from him a few month ago. i put 2 in main tank and 2 in their own 1.5' tank. Since i put 2 of them in main tank. I never see them again. :P and last month i bought a new coral beauty angel and i think he killed one of them. :cry: but he never care about my 2" cleaner shrimp and even go near for cleaning service.

One thing i wanna share (just my opinion and my situation) is..... In my main tank, they always hiding and don't like to touch aiptsia (spelling may be wrong) but every time i saw those anemone i take out the whole rock and put inside my 1.5' tank which is home for only 2 of peppermint shrimps. The next day the aiptsia is gone and never appear again.. :kiss: since my rock are not so huge i always use this method with 100% success rate. :)

for 2 of them in my 1.5' tank, now they are spawning so many baby every 2 weeks. and the next day all lost coz of my power filter. :ooh: i thought they are still young as they are around 1.5 inches only. They eat everything i give and now very fat fat with so many eggs.

bro fuEL, can share me how to raise them? I want to have a kind of krisel tank but don't know how to DIY and where to find tank maker with the budget of less than S$50. :heh: or any1 can help me do it one? :lol:
