Thanks hng and wiskey.....
I havnt had luck with them in the past but we will see what happens now. I have a coral banded shrimp in the big thank that does great for a while now well a little over a year. My GF bought me some fish stuff on last Vday and that shrimp was one of the things.

i think they cost more because people find them more desireable. I love the pair of fire shrimp I have. I might add some scarlets after the swap
