I bought some ghost shrimp to feed to my seahorse and he went nuts over them. Is there anyone out there that has raised these for food for your tank? It's a pain to run to the store every week for more shrimp.The artices on the net claim it can be done easly but I would like first hand knowledge if you have done it. Thanks for the help. ------------- i'm a sucker for anything fishy |

I've raised shrimp, but not ghost shrimp. However, they are only $.20 each, so if it were me, I would just have a bucket with a hundred of them in there. Too cheap to raise if you ask me. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

Aquatica in orem has them for .50 each. I wanted to put them in my over tank refugium to feed the tank. Or I might just break out a smaller tank and do a seahorse only. I just wanted to get my own live food supply going so I don't have to rely on the store to have them. I also spend more than I can afford at the lfs when I go. Where can I get them for .20? ------------- i'm a sucker for anything fishy |

Reeferman, I don't know where you consider "local", but The Aquarium has them, and MarineWorld has them for 5/$5! I've been getting robbed!

I don't know about most store prices but at Bird World they are like 4 or 5 for $1. I use to buy a ton of them there because I drove past BW on my way home from work everyday. I'm assuming they are the same price. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

| Aquatic ghost shrimp is so expensive because they are "salt water acclimated", though not difficult to do and I don't see a reason to do. |

I've seen lots of ghost shrimp at the Wal Mart on about 5500 S. and Redwood. I think they are 4 or 5 for a dollar. |
