Just found a new USA seller....
Look at the packaging... [emoji647] [emoji322] [emoji323]
I asked him if he had some algae and he included it and some snails..
I bought my original 10 shrimps from Shrimp Mart net; went i tried to order more their site was down... tried to contact them via email without success[emoji20]
Therefore searching for another source... at http://www.aquabid.com/ found Arkadiy.
I contacted him on late November and he explained told me: " USPS is overloaded in view of coming Christmas, so I stopped all my sales at the moment. I’ll start some auctions right after New Year..." that made my wait longer but at the end it was good.[emoji108]
Arkadiy replied to all my emails in an expedite manner. I asked a lot of questions and he replied to all in a very detailed manner...
Following is his replied to my last email:

" Thank you for the update.
I don’t mind you to post a review. J I checked this web site; seems to be
interesting to read.
Counting them is easy. I feed, wait as they swarm over the food, then I
just net them with a large net. Unfortunately, you can do that just once.
After first swipe, they hide for a few hours. J After they are in the net,
I keep the net with frame over the surface and the mesh in the tank, they
pull it out with a quick move. In this case they are spread over the mesh,
not gathered together. Then I just pick them with nail of the left thumb
one by one. It take 2-3 minutes to pick 50+ shrimp. Smaller shrimp are not
counted; then I add some extras.

This is my tank in my office at work. It’s here for a few years. No plants,
neutral gravel with a lot of red lava rock. No heater, corner sponge
filter, almost no current. Unfortunately, no plants. You may check my
article that I wrote as I started keeping them:
http://fishrimp.net/index.php/articles/ ... dina-rubra
I should have corrected some info, but it’s still 90% actual.
I keep them for 5-6 years. If I remember right, they started breeding in a
few months, but I started with wild adult shrimp, so it’s irrelevant. I
think they start breeding being 1 year old or so. Allegedly, they live up
to 20 years.

I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to order...
