Soothing Shrimp Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 WOW!!! GREAT deals! What are Sunkist Bees? I've never heard of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 They are brackish shrimp, can keep them in anything really but won't breed. I've bred them before but not worth the effort. Bright orange though. They are just orange bees -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I tried googling, but didn't find any pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShrimporium Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I use to go to one in ATL and I loved it and hated it at the same time. Happy to get great deals, but when you get home, you're like.... what am I gonna do with all this stuff! That was back when I was breeding SA Cichlids, mainly Eartheaters.

wicca32 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 sunkist bee is probably what used to be Propinqua. they are great shrimp. i had some that lived 2 years and got huge, about 2.5 inches and the size of endlers lol. yes they need the same breeding as amano shrimp so not many have had luck doing it. but nice shrimp. they will how ever lose the bright orange as they get older. they will end up more of brownish redish color. i have pics some where if you want to see them as adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Great deals , killies can become 'addictive' just like shrimp. They are very pretty fish, that convention I linked is very serious lol hard to, even sell there -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Those are great Killies I couldn't make it this year, but a friend bought a few things for me He bought me a trio of blue gularis, I already had a pair, but he was able to get the "trio" for $1 because the male had died in the bag. So I got to add 2 females to my pair I heard that overall prices were pretty good for both buyers and sellers (prices were high in the beginning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 "(prices were high in the beginning) " I imagine so. People are excited and then leave after buying and spending their moola, so the best bargains would be at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 OH yea, all the auctions I go too... if you are willing to stay till the end there are a ton of $1 items, however some of the fish aren't in the greatest of conditions at that point, but still there are deals to be had ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
