Where do I get black shell shrimps?

**Sunfire** · 2nd Oct 2006, 08:42

I'm looking for Taiwanese black shell shrimps - does anyone know where to get them?

**Kingfisher** · 3rd Oct 2006, 00:29

Any picture of the shrimp?

**kadios** · 3rd Oct 2006, 00:56

I have it in my tank. Got it from Bioplast. They have nice specimen there. Check it out!

Cheers!

Really? I wasn't aware that Bioplast sold shrimps.

**Fishsee** · 3rd Oct 2006, 12:54

Yes they do. I bought mine there a few months back....

I got from Bioplast also, but they look more like malayan . Now they are getting bigger, not as small as used to be .

Don't seem to be effective in clearing algae.

I heard that Bioplast sells these shrimps from time to time. I also heard that sometime ago, CA used to have it too.

Guys, heard from some hobbyists that they were keeping black shell shrimps. Was quite unaware of this species till i saw what they had kept. PMed the person but had no reply. Anyone seen this species in Singapore? If so, are they expensive? Expensive in terms of around the same price with purple zebra?

Dawugui, there is another thread asking the same question... So, I merged your query with that. Use the search function next time.

And, nice picture. Did you take it? If not, please state source.

**dawugui** · 12th Oct 2006, 13:10

oops, sorry never see it. eh, not my source, just linked it from google search function. the host think does not have a html webpage. just directories of the stuff..

**Quixotic** · 12th Oct 2006, 13:23

The web page is actually this, http://www.fulan.com/167/Cool/Beautiful-shrimp.htm

Kadios, care to share your shrimps with us? tell us more about this shrimp, like what temperature you kept with, ph...etc.

Do their color varies like cherry shrimps, in term of water quality...etc?

**Sunfire** · 12th Oct 2006, 14:28

Heading down to bioplast soon. CO2 running out. Will update with you guys if there are some for sale! Will post pictures too.

By the way, I also have some unidentified shrimp in my tank. They are brown in colour and were labelled as 'green cherry' in y618. They seem to be a slimmer, smaller kind of malayan shrimp.

Saw a few packs of very dark blue shrimps at Colourful over the weekend. You might want to call to enquire if they are what you're looking for.

Hi

Kindly look at my poor taken picture and comment if it is a black shell shrimp? Thanks!

As you can see the yellow markings on the back and the tail....I bought it as malayan shrimp
I believe black shell shrimp is all black without markings?

**richietay** · 12th Oct 2006, 18:26

A malayan shrimp for me!

Yup!

Its a malayan shrimp....unlike a black shell which is spotless!!

**neon** · 13th Oct 2006, 00:06

Definitely malayan shrimp. I used to have some malayan become this color.

**Sunfire** · 13th Oct 2006, 07:55

Bioplast is out of stock for the time being. No idea when the next shipment would come. They use cherry shrimp for their display tanks now. It seems that they also sell goldfish.

**Cacatuoides** · 13th Oct 2006, 16:07

C328 is having blue and purple zebra shrimps....don't know if it helps?
