Where Can I buy Blue Tiger Shrimp

I know theshrimpfarm.com sells them but its 4 for 100$. Thats really expensive! Does anyone know where I could get a few for a reasonable price?

You can find them on Aquabid for a good price.

Blue Pearl Shrimp are related to Cherry Shrimp. Blue Tiger Shrimp, or otherwise more known as Orange Eyed Blue Tigers (OEBT).

Be careful when buying from ebay or aquabid. There's a term going around called blondes, which are shrimp that aren't as blue but barely show the blue gene. I suggest joining plantedtank.net, they have dealers in the power sellers thread that sell OEBT's and I can vouch they are of the utmost quality. Look for dealers like Mordaphalus (AquarLiam.com - Give in to your shrimp addiction) or Speedie______. Mord is out of the country till the 24th though. Quality versions of these shrimp usually run from $8-20 dollars, so be wary of the ones that are cheaper.
