    Hi all! Was at Pet mart just now and looking for yamato shrimp. Was suprise to see the yamato shrimp were as small as a malayan shrimp and still selling 12 buck 20 pcs. Anyway bought 1 pack home and put inside my 4 ft planted and tank and immediately half of them go into the mouth of Atum and apsito. Heart bely painful. Look like it doesn't worth to buy it from pet mart anymore. I am willing to pay 80 cent per piece for bigger one rather than the samll one end up become the feeder of other fish.
    Feeling bely upset. Like kana cheaped.[]

    i personally find petmart's prices no longer attractive. i'd rather travel further, like go to clementi where they're also lots of fish to see.

    bought something from clementi for $7.50, petmart charged $8. this's just an example, cos i've noticed quite a few differences over the past month. []

    kunner: at least your fishes benefited what! so in a way your money still well spent! think of those luohan or arowana keepers, also feed expensive live food. so no need heart pain so much![]

    what is heart pain is my case: buy 20 tiger shrimp and bee. left only 4. if kena eaten still not so bad, but no they commit suicide. sigh.....

    Kunner: Shrimps n altum/apisto dont mix lah! Shrimps sure kana, big or small.. What exactly do you want to achieve? Control algae or feed your fish? Use oto or any oter algae-eating fish for algae control. Use ghost shrimp to feed your altum. Find it too wasteful..[] []

    if ben does not have it on the day you are there, and if you need alot, you can ask him to order for you and usually if there is stocks from the supplier pick up is the next day or 2 days later.

    I use to have yamato, apisto & altum in the same tank. I only choose yamato bcos they are big enough and apisto & altum find it difficult to "kop" them. But strangely all my yamato shrimp after a water change. All turn red and drop dead[] . Inspect them carefully, all in one picese no sign of attack from the other fish, suspect is PH shock. Luckly all the rest of the fish ok. Now bo pian go to find somemore. The bioplast uncle told me they will have yamato coming all Nov selling 80 cent per pic. Must look at the size and condition first b4 buying liao .
