Pistol shrimp pair for sale or trade and more

I have a pair of mated pistol shrimp that I pulled out of my setup when doing my tank switch. They are each about 2 to 3 inches long and mostly orange with some purple and blue on them. I will take say $30 for the two of them, or an LPS frag/colony that I do not already have. I also have two pretty large pieces of orange monti cap that broke off my main colony around 4-5 inches each. I would take $10 for each of them, or a like wise trade. Right now the caps and the shrimp are in my nano cube in my bedroom.......

If your first in line doesn't take them let me know. I have quite a bit I can trade for them and I'm not too far from you. Let me know what you are looking for.

Met Mike and his family this evening, very nice guy and has adorable little girls. Good luck with getting everything finished on that new tank Mike, it is already looking good. Maybe I can swing back by when you get everything finished and settled.

Again, thanks for everything. I'll post a pic of the Monti tomorrow just to show how generous Mike is.

Have a good night everyone.

Mike

Thanks Mike, pistol shrimp and one piece of monti now gone. One piece of Orange monti left at $10. This piece is about 5 inches maybe bigger, not hardly a frag. Come and get it!

All the plumbing on the new tank is now running with no leaks. Still waiting for my new bulbs from hellolights, but they should be in tomorrow. Got everything aquascaped and it doesnt look great but much better.

Shawn, I was thinking earlier today that I wanted to do the tour, but then I was gently reminded by my daughter that I have to coach her basketball game sunday. With the holidays we had not had games for a few weeks so I kind of forgot about them. I am sure once the season is over with we will be able to pull this together again.

Shrimps acclimated and hiding very well. Thanks for showing your tank/s. and offcourse what I liked was your selection of different fishes. Good Luck
