Pete,

Go to groups.yahoo.com and look for the group called FreshwaterShrimp.  I think it is exactly the kind of place you are looking for to answer your bamboo shrimp questions.

Subject: [APD] Bamboo shrimp requirements
To: 

Hello, been trying to find info on bamboo shrimps but it's hard to find so 
thought I'd ask here. I'm always looking for the 'different' animal look 
in my tank ;)
First I have a 90 gal with a med fish load (lots tetras and small fish), 
lots of plants, CO2 inj.

- Eating requirements. Do they need any supplementary food or could they 
fend for themselves? How many would the tank support?

- Colours? I saw them at the store a while ago (unlabeled as new delivery) 
but didn't get any as I wanted to research them first, these were a nice 
deep brown colour. But now the ones I see at the store are called African 
Wood Shrimp and they are a dull yellow colour, not nearly as nice. Was it 
the Singapore one I saw before.

- Are they jumpers? Currently running without a glass top on my tank for 
more light.

- What's the usual cost. Store has them at $19cdn which is the most I've 
ever seen for any type of shrimp. Don't know if that's standard or a 
premium for a new 'exotic'

- Any other special requirements, hiding places etc. I have good water flow 
which I guess they would need.

Many thanks
Pete.
