JotaDe Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 For hardiness I'd say a Peppermint shrimp. Mine had been plastered to the intake of my AquaClear 402 powerhead for 2 days while I was out of town (the intake protective cone fell off). He looked crushed when he hobbled out of it after I turned it off but 2 days later he's fine :*( He also was stuck in the same powerhead overnight months before. Not sure if a pep's right for you but I think mine will outlive me! Link to comment
Tempest Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Coral banded or skunk cleaner. Peppermints and scarlet/blood shrimp tend to hide during the day. Link to comment
yOyOYoo Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 sexy shrimp are pretty hardy also. You could get 3-4 instead of one skunk cleaner. Link to comment
jkstiles Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Coral Banded Shrimp are VERY difficult to kill and are very interesting to look at! You really have to work hard to kill one of those things! Link to comment
Hwarang Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 My mantis shrimp could live in a bucket of sludge, but I wouldn't really call her reef safe, hehe. Link to comment
djconn Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'd had my Coral Banded Shrimp for about a year and a half now. The thing is a true survivor and amazing! No probs. Link to comment
