Port Aransas Peppermint Shrimp Part2 & Part3

[apedroza]

Besides the pepps I have encountered blennies, sponges, rockanemones, limpets, and a crab that resembles sally light foot. In seines we've caught puffers, sea horses, rays, pipefish and grass shrimp. Lots to find out there!!!!

what kind of stuff is out there (jetties)? fish? corals?

a friend of mine was telling me theres some angelfish, butterfly fish, triggers, blennies, hogfish, damsels, and i forget what else. saw the pics of them from a book he had. not really colorful, but thats out there.

That's alot of shrimp!! I'd like to go catch some myself, but I honestly don't have any use for them. Sorry to get off topic, but have you heard anything about the new LFS yet?

No corals. As far as fish.... sometimes Queen and french angels, few damsels, warty anemone, blennies, porcelain crabs, sargasm fish, pigmy seahorses, ......nothing truly impressive. Its the armpit of the Guld of Mexico. Nothing impressive swims in except a make-shift boat made from popsicle sticks and gum every now and then with a few dozen illegals smuggling drugs.

Was by the new LFS a couple of days ago.
No change, still just the same sign

Yeah, but for those who have a real bad Aiptasia Problem; a dozen or so Peppermint Shimp are a God Send. They would benifit any tank as they are good & cheap little cleaners. They really only come out at night if you have fish in your system.

None the less, I'm gonna try and send as many as I can back with Ace. Keep in mind that most will be for his school tanks. But I'm sure that there will be a little extra for you'z guyz.

i wouldn't mind a couple!

[SoLiD]

Cha-Ching!.

No cha-ching... They can't be sold without a comercial license. Oh Well.

Nice work...wish I was close enough to do the same thing.

Is your tank up and running? And are you ever coming back to Texas? I've been wondering about that, but I've never asked.

OK, as you guys may know Justin (aggie4231) and I went to the END of the Port A Jetties in search of Peppermint Shrimp last Friday. Well, on the way back the PLASTIC HANDLEon my bucket broke, spilling ALL but 3 of my Peps back into the Gulf. Atleast they went back into the water. Well tonight was my 2nd try at it and I found some good spots out there. After 2 hours out there I thought that I might have about 50, so I headed home. I got home about 4 hours ago and I started to count them while I transfered them to new saltwater. WELL... it turns out My Estimate Was A Tad Off...

Here Are All 220 Peppermint Shrimp From Tonight 4/26/08.

That is pretty cool.
