Are Aegla interesting enough for you to want one?

[Kingster]

Do any aquarium keepers of minter or nano tanks interested in keeping Aegla? I plan on getting some and breeding them but not sure if there is a demand, they are ofc super unique. Pictures are form google:

I know a lot of people who love invertebrates who would love to keep them.

I love how they are an aquatic species but looks like a tiny coconut crab

And I the only think that worrys me is they cost a lot around 200 to 300 each... so I wanna make sure it’s kinda not just a bullet to the shoulder

Where do you plan to get them from?

Local shrimp store offers em for $300.00 O can’t find a better price Will probabaly have to get em at that price and they only have 1... so hopefully they can get 1 or 2 more soon.

Jeepers! Your job must pay well. They are quite interesting indeed, what size does this species reach?

 

[Eclipse390]

They're very interesting! But that's a steep price

So cute!
But that price is way too much for me to ever consider them.
I have horrible luck with inverts:/

Aegla Sp. | ShrimpFever

Found a single one for $100.

Quite frankly, I believe if done correctly by the right person then it could work out quite nicely.
