Hi these shrimps are at the lfs could you please ID the ones marked with a red arrow and the ones marked with a black one?
i Believe the ones with the black arrow are sexy shrimp i erad a lot about them and it seems they would make a great addition to my tank. however the only problem is that they are way too small as you can see in the picture they are less than half a cm. the thing is that this is the first time the lfs gets any of these and they usually get shipments only once every 1-2 months and only one comapany would send livestock till here and it's from singapoore and i haven't had good experiences with them on fish or critters. i don't mind waiting for these to grow up alittle as i heard they grow fast, however i'm afraid tehy'll become luch for any of my fish i have the followings in my tank:
large semicirculatus
maroon clown
pair of clarcki
hyppo tang
coral beauty and will be adding a wrass and a powder blue or a foxface and may be both if they continue to behave in the small Q tank they are in do you think any of these fish could eat them?
i also have two cleaner shrimps a fire shrimp and some hermit crabs do you thinkn they would fight?
they are at the lfs in a tank with 2 purple tangs and some anthias and small hyppo tangs and none of these approaches them although they are ni the open and not hiding.
also i could keep them in my Q tank which is an introductin tank now and has no copper in it.
they look great and i would get each small one for 5 usd only. so do you think i should get some and how many of themif yes?
