Entire Shrimp Colonies For Sale (i'm Moving And Need To Tear Down)

I'm planning on listing my house so I'm going to be taking down my shrimp room. I currently have three shrimp colonies. Yellow Neos, Blue Velvets, and Malawa Shrimp. I'd like to sell the colonies with all of their respective plants/driftwood, and snail inhabitants. Basically, I want to sell entire planted shrimp setups while keeping the equipment for future use. All shrimp would be shipped express 1-2 days with heat packs. All plants/driftwood would be shipped priority 2-3 day. Make an offer on the colonies by private message. I'm looking for entire colony offers (shipping included) and am very willing to negotiate prices within reason. I can sell all of this individually and could make a lot of money on these shrimp (have $500+ in just the blues and malawas if sold as individuals), but would rather give someone a good deal and ship all at once. Make offers for each shrimp colony separately or for the entire shrimp room.

Everything is SOLD OUT


Here's a picture of my shrimp room/closet.

Blue Velvet Tank = 80+ blue velvet shrimp (mixed sizes baby to adult), 4 Amano Shrimp, some MTS, 4 pieces of driftwood with moss/anubias attached, two Marimo, several crypts, java fern a handful of najas/guppy grass and will include some shrimp food and a turkey baster for cleaning/feeding, etc. In the first picture, it is the tank all the way on the right. Pics don't do justice for the blue color. These have a very nice blue color to them.

Yellow Neo Tank = 23-25 Yellow Neo (Juvie to adult...most just shy of breeding age), 3 Amano Shrimp, some MTS, two Marimo, java fern, 4 pieces of driftwood with java moss attached, crypts, and some najas/guppy grass. Will include shrimp food and turkey baster. This one is the middle right tank on the shrimp room picture.

Malawa Shrimp Tank = 80+ Malawa Shrimp (babies to adult-some berried females), hot pink ramshorns, three pieces of driftwood with java moss and java fern attached, crypts, two marimo moss balls, and a bunch of guppy/najas grass. These shrimp have a lot of color variation and breed much faster than my neos. The population tripled in a few months. If you are new to Malawas they have the same needs as the other shrimp I'm selling and they are a mix of red, green, black, brown in color with tiger like stripes. Pic doesn't do them justice. I find them to be the easiest shrimp to breed and keep. This tank is the furthest on the left in the first picture. Will come with some shrimp food and a baster.

Can you get a better pic of the blue velvets? Are they this color

Can you buy some of the shrimp? Who pays for shipping? How much do they cost?

Hey Culprit, I'd rather sell as a whole, but if I don't get any hits soon, then I will consider it. I will, however, consider selling all of the shrimp without the plants, etc., as that's easier than individual. If I do consider selling in smaller quantities I'd probably sell them for $2.50 each, but cheaper the higher the number. If someone is willing to buy all of the shrimp. I'd probably sell for less than a $1.00 each. Shipping express is usually between $30-40, but if I sell all the shrimp at once, I'd be happy to cover part of that cost.

As far as the color, no, they are not that blue. That's closer to a blue dream velvet. These look like the sky blue velvet shrimp that aquaticarts sells. That being said, part of this stock is from aquaticarts (sky blue velvet), so I got the shrimp from where you got the picture. A large portion of my shrimp are a little darker than the picture, some are the same, and some a little lighter. The picture shows mostly adults, but a lot of my juvies (the second generation) are darker.

47909. If you just want shrimp, just look up small box priority express. Would probably weigh 3lbs or so for an entire colony.

Hey Culprit, sorry, I missed this message earlier. Just saw the one for shipping. I'd do all 80 shrimp for $80. Would still have to calculate shipping, and I could work with you to cover part of that.

just tell me if you don't get anymore hits if you will sell them in smaller numbers. Bc then I could get about $8 shipping and just get 5-10
