    Hi there, if I buy malayan shrimps, do they only sell them in bags of 50?

    How about polyart? do they carry them?

    They are ok as general algae eater(not BBA) but not as effective as yamatos.
    ...I love rubies too ...

    Do malayan shrimps grow as big as yamatos or are they about the same size as cherries? Thanks.

    IMHO... Cigar fish is not very effective algae eater... they however are very effective in eating algae wafer in our office tank...
