Hello

Does anyone know where i can get these in so-cal?
(i'm in the Irvine area) i've checked Petown, but they dont seem to have them... anyone got any ideas?

Also. if i were to order them online (35-40 of them) when is a good time to order them?
after i've fully stocked the tank with the fish?
i originally wanted stock the tank by alternating afew fish/shrimps per week, but if i order them online.. obviously i cant do that... or can i?

is it safe to put all 35-40 of them in the tank at once? (i know their bio-load is minimal, but 35-40 of them?)

it'll be a 30 gallon tank to be stocked with 30-35 harlequin rasboras, possibly afew ottos

last question.. since i'm just going to carpet this tank with glosso and possibly hairgrass do i NEED the amano shrimp? cause they are kind of pricey and if there are any alternatives ill probably go with that...

sorry for all these questions but i guess it's better to have 1 thread than to make alot of them?
i'd appreciate any suggestions + help cause these are like the last few things i need to know before i can set it up!

Thanks!

I'm in NorCal, and they are extremely common at the store I work at. We sell them for $2.99.

You might want to try looking around at other stores in your area,, to see if they carry them.
