They are really good at hiding, so don't give up on the 5th just yet. Well i have been thinking about getting the fluval edge and i was wondering1. Could i have 5 sexies? 2. What is a good fish to put in with them? (If Possible) 6gal tank, right? Yeah, 5 would be fine. And as far as fish.... anything that'll do well in a 6gal. Any fish is fine as long as they aren't ornamental shrimp eaters. Quote Link to comment

nimrod Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Got mine yesterday. Here's one of the fellas Quote Link to comment
phorensic Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Alright, so I put in 3 sexy's and at first I thought they were freakin' awesome! ...And then they started munching on my green paly's. I feed them twice a day now. I've tried two different types of food, first Arcti-pods, and now Spectrum fish pellets, both recommendations from the LFS. They can grab the large chunks of Arcti-pods no problem and chow down, and they love to grab the fish pellets and chow down...however, every time I look at my green paly's I can see they are still munching on them, or I catch one in the act. I shoo them away with a stainless stick and even blow them off with my turkey baster and they still do it! Any other advice before I get pissed and get rid of them? Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Not sure what to tell you.. I plopped mine in the 40br tank and they seem to be behaving themselves so far..... Quote Link to comment
mjmccusker Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have just got my first sexy shrimp in my 10g nano tank. I am going to pick up two more from the LFS next week. Lots of corals, including zoas to spare especially some random patches of non-colorful ones, but I am planning to feed every day or every other day. I also have a peppermint shrimp.... any need I should be worried about fighting with the peppermint? Also, anyone else have trouble with percs stealing food from the tweezers before the sexy gets it? The shrimp is already hosting under my torch coral! Thanks Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Congrats! The pep shrimp shouldn't bother them at all and the as long as you move quickly enough, the percs won't steal the food. Quote Link to comment
Michaelangelo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 does everyone agree that these shrimp eat LPS? Quote Link to comment
Toothpik Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 i was wondering...how often do these shrimp get sucked by the filter? im planning on a pico with a AC50 or AC70..kinda worried about these little critters Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 None of mine have ever been sucked into an intake. They are pretty strong little buggers. Quote Link to comment
Michaelangelo Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 well i put two in , and sure enough one of my frogspawn is perished Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sorry about the frogspawn, but I highly doubt the sexies contributed to it's demise. Sexies will readily host long tentacle LPS like frogspawn/hammer/torch. How was it looking before you added the sexies? Quote Link to comment
duckiesforever Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Any other advice before I get pissed and get rid of them? tabasco sauce Quote Link to comment
phorensic Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 So I'm adding new coral to the tank and my lone sexy shrimp (after I flushed the other two bastards) was looking kinda fat. Sure enough, babies!! Hundreds of them! ##### got pregnant while the other two boys were in town. What a slut. The light turns off on the timer and I wasn't done topping off for the day so I turned it back on. And then BAM! She starts shaking her booty and like 20 babies fly off! And then a minute later she shakes really hard and there were hundreds! Hundreds of babies! Swimming! It was quite a moment for my family, hahaha. We all screamed so loud when it happened. We are all officially dorks now. And then within 3 minutes my clownfish ate all the babies. No shens. The circle of life continues... Quote Link to comment

Michaelangelo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 my frogspawn was new and still very young, they did host in it then one night one of the two heads vanished Quote Link to comment
phorensic Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Where did everyone get their sexies? Got mine at the LFS. He had 5, I bought 3, he sold out in 1 day. It's been weeks and he says he can't find them anymore. I guess they are hard to find? Quote Link to comment
