pjtech Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 If yes what shrimp is recommended in a brand new tank. Cleaner Fire Coral Banded Shrimp Sexy Shrimp Peppermint Shrimp Harlequin/Clown Harlequin/Clown Camel Thanks Patjs Link to comment
changhsu Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Coral banded can get big and aggressive. It will kill what it can catch. Cleaner will clean your fish from parasites etc. I forgot which one, but either the camel or peppermint might chew on corals. I think you can get more of the ones that won't grow big. Check for compatibility issues by doing a search. Make sure you don't get the one that eats live starfish! Link to comment
adinsxq Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 camel shrimp look gross especially when they get big and their eys are all stuck out wayward like that and they've got short stubby legs and that humpy back and did i mention the eyes gross yeah i like cbs something about their petite bodies with long claws but not gross spider legs and great color contrast in those shrimpies but i haven't heard of the 1 shrimp per minibow maybe browse the tanks at minibow.com or the oc-creative.com/reef forums but yeah i have a peppermint in my 1.5 he's been there for 2 months and sheds every two weeks or so what a cutie i love it how shrimp freak out when you drop a pellet in the tank and they smell it lol,chris Link to comment

onthefly Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Camels are not reef safe....pep's are! Link to comment
seabass Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I would only keep one. I like Fire shrimp, Scarlet Cleaner shrimp, or Peppermint shrimp (in that order). Wow, that sounds like Mykelti Williamson as "Bubba Blue" in Forrest Gump. "There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp..." Link to comment
