Thanks, Scott. That's one of the wierd things I find there. They ship on
Thurs. afternoon and Fridays. Which means you have to go for the most
expensive (fastest) shipping and it's still a hope and prayer that the order
will arrive Sat. latest. Shrimp are $1.88 each. I'd assume at least $1 to
$3 each shipping on top of that, and that's assuming no casualties. So my
guess is around $3 to $5 for each shrimp.

Those Rainbow do look good but I don't know where they get their info on
them. Most sources say these guys never get bigger than Neon Tetras. Another
source - http://www.franksaquarium.com/shrimporderform.htm has them at twice
the price. Some older threads at theKrib and actwin were all positive
regarding eating algae, especially hair algae. But I'm basing the
care/suitability on the info at http://www.thekrib.com/Fish/Shrimp/ (See
#4)

 I might be interested in getting some shrimp with you, particularly
the ones that are supposed to eat the green hair algae. They both
look pretty interesting. Do you know how much they would cost with
shipping and everything?
