I have a 3.5ft tank and I just added a firefish into my tank. Within 2 days, I could not find the fish and when I look into the CBS's usual hiding place, I saw my firefish with only his head, his bone and tail. I immediately took him out at night and place him in my sump. my cbs took a clown. as soon as that happened, i took him on a permanent holiday to the sump. Quote Link to comment

mndfreeze Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Crazy to think they are so expensive there. Sexy shrimp are super cheap here in the states. For the cost of 2 meals at mcdonalds I can buy one. They cost roughly 15 bucks here on average. Sometimes as low as ten but never higher than 20. Quote Link to comment

Crys Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi, I was doing some research on shrimp and came across this thread. Thanks for the great information, I will not be buying a coral banded shrimp! Also thank you for the shrimp verses shrimps statement, it is also a pet peeve of mine. When ever I'm at a restaurant and see shrimps on the menu I really want to take a sharpie marker and fix the spelling.🙂 Quote Link to comment
Trash person Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 This is exactly what I needed thank you, and good job Quote Link to comment
BurlyWizard Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Outside of compatibility, how many shrimp can you house in a tank? I have a 25 gallon and would like to maximize the shrimp. Would a skunk, fire, and a few camel back shrimp be too much? Quote Link to comment
