[Dr. Bluethumb]

did you collect these?

No these were all purchased, I’m not a collector

 

[RVA REEF]

did you buy them wholesale

 

[Dr. Bluethumb]

did you buy them wholesale

No sir, Im not a store. Wholesale prices would be nice tho lol

 

[RVA REEF]

why did you order so many and why are you charging more than retail?

I had an aptasia outbreak and the Mrs thought the peppermints were cute lol. When you have aptasia stinging high end corals you do what you need to, to eradicate the problem as quickly as possible. I paid $12 a piece, and they were smaller when I bought them. I’ve seen some places selling $15+ a shrimp.
i get the sense you don’t have any intention of purchasing any, so If you have any more questions I’d appreciate it if you DM me to not take away from this thread please. Thank you !

where did you buy that many for 12 a piece and who charges 15? Most everywhere charges 5-9 per shrimp but if you buy bulk, like you did, they offer an even better discount.

My apologies Aquarium Depot has them listed for $14.99 not $15.00, 49 reviews on their page so I guess I’m not the only one who didn’t get the best deal available ‍

Shrimp, Peppermint - Lysmata sp.

Peppermint Shrimp are very well known for the control of Aiptasia Anemones. These do very well within a reef aquarium and are totally reef safe. Care does need to be taken when introducing to a reef tank that exhibits larger wrasses or groupers. Shrimp are of a very nice size this week.

I mean if you were local and I knew these bad boys were eating aptasia, I'd have 0 hesitation forking over $15. Ive got 2 that don't touch mine.

Lol I appreciate that, that’s another reason I got so many. Like 2-3 of these guys have to enjoy the taste of aptasia.. no way of knowing which ones did eat my aptasia, but lucky some of them did for me

I would keep them because they will come back as soon as you get rid of the shrimps
