Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Sexy Party! Caught these guys about an hour after acclimation. This is our kitchen tank and during cooking dinner I counted seven lined up right there where these guys are dancing. Little party animals. 12 in, hoping to add a pair of dwarf sea ponies next month... Do I need more kids to take care of? Quote Link to comment
Coastie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just added mine about half an hour ago. Maybe I'll be able to photograph them in a bit. Woohoo Quote Link to comment

Waaaaaaaaay to much work to keep food growing for them. Quote Link to comment
Coastie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I know I JUSTTTT posted pictures but it was feeding time in the ole box of water and I got some good pics of the skrimps, too bad the water was slightly cloudy from the food. Quote Link to comment

blajoie Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I wouldn't trust the six line. My sixline just committed suicide., so I guess it's sexy time again! Quote Link to comment

biggyal66 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Should I worry about covering powerheads or suction tubes with something to keep from sucking the sexies into them? Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Nah, the sexies have no trouble with powerhads. They're fast/strong enough to stay out of them and sometimes they'll even perch on them if they aren't super strong. I dunno about suction tubes though. I would probably put some kind of net material to cover it. Quote Link to comment

What page, who knows. Search the thread, box at bottom left of thread. Edited December 18, 2010 by Nor_Cal_Cuber Quote Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) anyone ever had success with sexys and a snaping shrimp? red banded... if that helps...(Alpheus randalli) Yes they are fine together. Speaking from my personal experiances, Alpheus randalli is an extremely reef-safe species. Edited December 23, 2010 by animalmaster6 Quote Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I have to say, I have had more then a few problems with my sexies eating LPS and Zoa skirts. I feed pellets and flakes twice a day. Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Of course now that I want to try to raise some of he sexy babies... neither of the females have produced eggs since. :/ Quote Link to comment
kgoldy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Apparently Sexy Shrimp are impossible to get for my most frequented LFSs... Months after ordering them from three different shops and getting zilch... I see two Sexies at my favorite store that's about an hour from me! Finally some company for the one I already had! Can anyone sex these guys from my terrible pics? Haha. I'll try to do better during "daylight" hours... Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Congrats! Three females. Quote Link to comment
kgoldy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Congrats! Three females. Wow... that was fast! I wonder how many more I can fit in my 29 gallon... Quote Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wow... that was fast! I wonder how many more I can fit in my 29 gallon... I have 12 in my 8g! Quote Link to comment
tmhasara Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have to say, I have had more then a few problems with my sexies eating LPS and Zoa skirts. I feed pellets and flakes twice a day. Does anyone get away with feeding them less than this (while preventing them from nipping at corals)? Quote Link to comment
