jumpsmasher Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Finally got my hands on my true wild crystal black shrimp aka the original bee shrimp. They don't look like much but I been looking for them for a while and very excited to have them in my tanks. these are the RAW bee shrimps, before they were selectively bred to what we know now as crystral red and crystal black shrimps. Hoping to get a colony going and keep them around for a while. checked one off my bucket list : ) Kurobom, Mr. F and PlantDude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not much i can do with regards (legal) US shipments. But if you are ever in Canada or by the border, i can always ship it to any UPS store for pickup!

turok Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 you still have to cross the border and declare them at fish and wildlife office. I had to do that with discus fish. took about an hour. what a waste of an hour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
