    There's also Aquaworld in Dublin 12 as well. http://www.aquaworld.ie/

    Got some lovely bee shrimp off them, but I managed to kill them, they're a bit more delicate than the cherry shrimp which are a lot tougher!

    Arthane Aquatics does them also.

    Just be carefull to keep them in slightly harder water, as this is good for shell growth.

    Also, some fish (barbs, danios, killifish) will have them for breakfast, so research this first!

    I made that mistake. Bought 4 shrimp (uncommon ones at €12 a pop) and the next morning bits of shell were everywhere, and i had a suspiciously fat and smug looking killiefish.
