    Ouch Storm Hope the other pair make it up for you in due time.

    One of mind was struggling to molt the moment I put it in, I actually thought it was dead for two days. Every time I tried to pick it out, it shot away. They seems to be doing fine now except one of them appear to be extremely illusive.

    Just like the time I put 40rcs/10yellow/10blue into my community fish tank. But mine was live food, which is more pricey.

    There are a lot of grayberries in there, lol! More than enough to trade. But not many people are interested in "next gen" blueberry shrimp... you sure you know what you're offering?!

    TomC: I wonder how much that is per pound.

    let's see, assuming .5 gram at ~453.59 grams per pound... ouch! $907.18 per pound! They're not getting THAT every day.

    Yikes. Both of mine were locked in a death grip this morning. I thought for sure the larger one had killed the smaller one. I had to intervene and poke them to separate them. Luckily both were okay.

    I just lost a 2nd cray. Down to two from four, now. One male and one unknown, each in a seperate tank. The survivors have molted with no issue, so I don't think it's water parmeters.
    Those grayberries are getting spoiled!
