Re: [GSAS-Member] Yellow Shrimp to Share

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

Got it....I just need to read posts more carefully (wink). These look like
fun little shrimp, but if they are new, I'd just wait till they get
divvied up around the country. If they breed like red cherries, that price
should come down quickly. Betty-budget-busted after visiting Emory's and
Sky Nursery Fall Sales! Now, if it was a GUARANTEED pair of Dario dario,
I'd speak differently (big smile).
