I have bought bamboo (fan) shrimp at both places, but have noticed that one often has shrimp lately while the other one does not. There are several on-line places, try one of those.

Here's mine... wonder what specie it is...

Looks like a female Red Claw. FYI this qote is from page 2 of this thread.

Blue lobsters are awsome

Thats a female Cherax destructor. A good looking girl too!

Thank you for the info.

I guess that's the same as Cherax destructor, right?

Nope, Cherax Quadricarinatus. Because of the wide variations in color of both species, it is possible it is a C. Destructor but I would lean strongly toward a female C. Quadricarinatus (females dont actualy get the red strip on the claw that they are named for).

Here is a good link showing both.

If nothing else time will tell for sure because C. Quadricarinatus get twice as big as C. Destructor and grow much faster.

Either way, nice cray.

Those things are wicked cool. I know nothing about them, how big do some of those get? Like the blue lobsters? I have a 55g that I would love to put a few of those in. Right now there is only 1 jewel cichlid 2" and a 2" pleco in there.

Are they really expensive?
