Where to buy cheap red bee and bee shrimp in Singapore

[hyun007]

Hi guys!
Where to buy these shrimp in Singapore?
What are the price range?

I don't need the high grade shrimp.

Nowadays alot of places are selling normal grade CRS at just $2.80 a piece.

[hyun007]

Normal grade is B grade?

[koji™]

Should be C grade.

Tryto look out for forumer that put their shrimp on sales, definately cheaper & better grade than LFS.

You can try Clementi Blk 328 if you are staying @ west side .

Buy from breeders cheaper.
Some bros here selling too, just go marketplace and see

[goody992828]

No specific breeders for low grade shrimp, rather keep a watch out for forumer that is upgrading to higher grade , hence may just release their lower grade shrimp.

I won't recommend to put so many in one shoot. Always try to start with a few pieces so that you can monitor them in your tank for a week plus to make sure your tank is stable enough for more. Usually new tank we try not to put too many initially. It's gradually increase.

[goody992828]

True enough, try few pieces first before committing more, it a lesson learn.

Start off with some low grade as commandos to test out the water 1st......

now crs very cheap.....not longer like last time...

If water parameter is correct, one can do that.

I have a sudden spike of Nitrite in the water.
I suspect from the new soil.

The thing I dislike about soil is that they take longer to cycle a tank.
If I use gravel, I only need a couple of days with mature tank water.

Now, will need to do some water change, add more duckweed and frogbits.

[goody992828]

Amonia will spike during the cycling process, hence if too early introduce your comandos, it might not survive as well....

are you from fishlore too>/?

My spike was caused by the cloudy water from ADA 2 soil when I transfer the tank to another home.

All commandos died in battlefield except 1 Sakura and 3 Otos.
Casualties are 3 CRS, 1 Painted Fire Red and 2 Sakura.
That cost me 3 big Ajisen Ramen + 3 Drinks!!!

I had a bad experience on shrimp when my alot of my shrimp had dead since day1 i start this hobby.. though it cost me quite amount of money.. but i gain more experience from it..
So far i having around 10 normal grade CRS and 2 A grade CRS in my tank are growing alot.. =)
Just to share my experience..
Cheers..

Agreed with Bettafantastic that home breeder offers much lower price crs.

I knew one breeder from west side who clears his crs , as and when he needs to, I taking from him now
