    I've been searching for some baby fire shrimp for somrtime. Ne one have a site that gets em young? Even the warehouses ive been to only have em round 1.75-full grown. I could understand y, seeing as they would be very delicate but would still love to have one for my cube.

    Reclusive shrimp, hard enought o find at larger size. Small ones probably live further back in the cracks/caves. The divers are trained, bigger is better, bigger means more $$$, so they seek them out. The reef trade is changing that mentality, but not as quickly as reefers want.

    Nope, they're version of the net is a net :) They do surf with their boats on the way in some times though.
