Suweet! Welcome to the club!

Hey guys,

My little guys don't seem to be thrilled about the shrimp pellets, only a few are eating them and they are not running to the pellets, in fact they are running away from them!

Is there anything else I can feed these guys that will entice their appetite?

Thanks
Stan-O

Try flake or frozen food too.

omg.

I know, right?
Both of the largest females are almost ready to release their babies. Wish I was set up to try to raise them, but I'm not.. ah well.

I dipped some of my corals in Interceptor in a quarantine tank to get rid of some pests (it did work), even though I rinsed them off when I added them back to my display, it killed 4 of my 6 sexy shrimps and a couple hermit crabs. I'll have to get some more in the future, but if you dip interceptor, really make sure to rinse them well

I had a jumper!

RIP poor little guy, I came home and one of my sexies was on the carpet. I didn't know they can jump out!

Well now I'm not going to leave my lid off, the lid stays on!

Stan-O

Eesh, sorry to hear that, both of you.

LANI: care to distill all of this info into a NR article?

I, ummm....... sure! I'll see what I can do.

I noticed today that one of the females had released her babies, most likely last night, but the other is still holding on to her's.. I found that interesting that they didn't release at the same time.

Well i just wanted to post some pictures of my sexy ladies too! and my bumblebee!

Wow, what a thread! I read through the entire thing, and dare I say I am sex'd out........nah, over-sexed sounds better. Great input. I will be sexifing my tank, when the time is right, and I look forward to the day when I can get some video with Color Me Bad "I Wanna Sex You Up" playing in the background.

I appreciate the inputs and knowledge on the forum!

Cool pics! Do the sexies and bumblebee play well together?


Lol! Glad you like the thread.

Yea they all seem to get along great! I they even tend to follow each other around!

Sexies and mini nems =

So whats the most Sexies in a tank right now? I'm going for 18-19 in my BC8 which is dedicated for them. Currently have 11 and haven't lost one.

could you keep sexy shrimp with a damsel?
my damsel is tiny, like .5 inch


Great thread!

Damsel should be fine, what kind?

A green banded goby should be fine with sexies, right? And same goes for pom pom crab?

Yup, those would be fine.

big scale parma damsel, i would like 3-6 sexies?

Hmm, I've never heard of that type of damsel... I'm really not sure. Google search spit out an adult size of over 6in. though, kinda big for your 15gal..

yeah me too
its real small it is suppose to get 3 inches, but im not sure
this is what he looks like
sorry about the crappy pics (from my phone)

Passion flower, mmmm!!! Awesome shot!

I plan to be in your club before long

Neat looking fish.
But I don't know anything about them, sorries!


Yay!
Setting up a tank for them, or...?

its ok haha
he seems pretty peaceful, but who knows haha

wheres best place to buy sexys online?

Found this: Red One Spot Damsel


Liveaquaria.com usually has them in stock, and also some on ebay.. I'll try to pull together some links and add them to the OP.

Lost one or can't find him during the last few head counts.

Anyone have more then 10 rollin?

YAY!! Im finally part of the sexy shrimp club!! Got 3 a week ago and they are doing great!

Awesome.

They are hypnotizing.... I cant stop watching them.. My clowns are getting jelous..

crap pic... dont mind the aptasia...

Do Sexies and hermit crabs get along? I really want to get sexies but I don't want the hermit crabs eating them. If the sexies eat the hermits though, that is cool.

Sexies and hermits will practically ignore each other.

Do sexies eat zoo's? I took all mine out of my bc8 because they never really opened in that tank. Shrooms do great though.

Anyone who thinks my atlantic chalk bass will eat a sexy?

Yes, there is a chance they will eat zoa skirts unless you keep the sexies well fed.


Possible, they are known to eat small ornamental shrimp.

My bass is pretty voracious. I guess no sexy for me... (YESSS!!!! Excuse for a new pico...)

Put some firefish back in the bc8, found sexy number 11. No deaths,these are great little inverts.







Thank you, removed my zoo's and added more shrooms. How much of a danger are bristle worms? I've seen at least 3 or 4.

Bristle worms pose no danger to sexies, and the other way around.

ive got a sweet pic of my sexy hosting my huge green carpet. i just got to stop being lazy and load it to the computer.

Well, stop being so lazy!

Sence my last pic was so bad... figured I would post a better one.

If they weren't 20 dollars a head I would surely get a few.

You and me both.. after having my three tho i love them and will surely get more.

$10 on Liveaquaria when they have them in stock.

Great shots, guys! reefone, that little shrimp looks lonely on that big nem.

That nem is amazing and so is the sexy

Some one should stock a 55 with them in stead of spending 300 dollars on a show fish....that would be cool.

$10 you say? Hmmm....

Sexy

Here you go you might wanna get some other stuff to save on shipping
