Weetabix7 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is cool! How well do your BumbleBee Shrimp and 2 different Porcelain Crabs get along with each other? I've thought of putting something like that in my 4g Pico. I'm in Oak Ridge, TN, if you're ever coming through my area I can give suggestions of stores to check out and I sometimes also have frags for sale. Link to comment
straydog Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 All the inverts get along grate together so far. The bumble bees try to be bullies but they know when to back down. I catch them every once in awhile riding on a snail. Thanks weetabix if get up that way ill let you point me toward the stores. I was in nashvill last week but didn't get a chance to look around.

straydog Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 These are the red pepole eaters I just picked upI just noticed these white spots on a closed one any ideas Link to comment
ednangel Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm following! Glad your doing this tank, I had 4 bumbles and they would carry eggs often they were on a 25 gal, I would see them once a week or so. I decided then to move them to the fuge and that was their doom. Now only on survived. Link to comment
badfish816 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 awesome thread. can get a good look at the spots. hope they aren't nudi eggs. Link to comment

straydog Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't know never seen them before badfish, guess ill see how they look after they come out of the dark of the cooler ? Thinking of doing a 50/50 dip with peroxide to see if it helps! Link to comment
badfish816 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 sounds like a plan. a freshwater dip will kill anything on it but if they are eggs. just keep dipping every once in awhile. nice bees! Link to comment
straydog Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 I found a tiny green tourch and a single yellowisw green trumpt , also picked up another scarlet hermit in Newnan Georgia.

.Newman. Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 btw what do your bumblebee shrimp eat? Link to comment
straydog Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 btw what do your bumblebee shrimp eat? Myacis, reefplankton, babybrin shrimp I put a cube of each in a small container let it thaw then refreez . When I feed I chip off a small pice and drop it in (there are small white star fish in the tank also that never go near the glass I'm not sure if they have snacks between feedings) Link to comment
.Newman. Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 wow so they eat other stuff than starfish? Link to comment
straydog Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 wow so they eat other stuff than starfish? They aren't like the harlequins, they like to eat the feet of sand sifting stars, but if there aren't any stars they will scaveng for what they can find. Link to comment
