i remember seeing big one at LCK...not sure whether still have or not but peppermint shrimp should be still available. Think last week, iwarna has them but rather small. Heard small one is more hardworking than big one....lol. Maybe you can consider getting small one as once stabilised, they grow quite fast. However, just ensure no possibile predator is in your tank....wrasse can be one of the murderer....all the best.

did u see any apogon cynasoma? the yellow stripe cardinal?

cynasoma is not rare, it's quite frequent in bali and indo shipment so jux hav to keep a lookout for it. why not get the less common apogon limenus (australian red striped cardinals) at LCK. saw quite a number imported during the last aust shipment but sadly not many pple interested in cardinals so still hav leftovers.

yes closed on tuesday. yes small lysmata shrimps are better cleaners. i bought mine when it was only 1.5 inches. very hardworking and consistantly clean my fish. after only a few months, it grow twice the size. now it is 2.8 inches..nearly 3 inches. every 2 weeks i see it moult.. now its fat, lazy and reliant on feeding -.- never go hunt for food around the tank liao unless it is super hungry. and seldom clean my fish also....useless when big. lolz

the smaller one grew faster than my bigger one. now both are same size. i think they try to grow faster and same size so can mate. now both of them everyday pregnant. release baby shrimps. tomorrow preggy again :D very fun to see. free fish and coral food. very nutritious also
