    Yeah, its pretty hard to not get them as mated pairs as I have yet to find a single harlequin in the wild. They are always in pairs. Still working on the breeding aspect of them as well. Probably gonna take a few years to crack this nut.

    The shrimp are largly found in the Central Pacific, including the Hawaiian Islands. Many captive specimens are also collected from the Indian Ocean.

    Never pay that much for them let me know first if you want a pair..The breeding nut is already cracked for some

    OK, "chiming in" --- do love them even despite their strange and expensive eating habits.
