mmmm

Cleaner shrimps in general are pretty expensive. $20 usually. however, some lfs sell them for cheaper when they are small, from 10-15 bux depending on where. I'd suggest not ordering them online, because sometimes they get hurt in shipping. Also, a very important point is find out the salinity in which they are kept, because some stores keep them at salinity of 1.020-. This is bad for them in the long run even though it keeps livestock clear of disease. If they are kept at a low sg, try buying from another store or acclimate VERY CARFELLY and onlly w/ drip system. If you need a full run down i can give you how i do it.

reef rico, as in your other post, you wanted cleaners. DO NOT purchase them from any place that sells for 160$. that's a ridiculous rip off. Even if you ordered online w/ shipping would be cheaper. Find another store that sells cheaper.
