Another rare pleco and a Bamboo Shrimp..

[Cleggat]

So this is my 3rd one, I really do love them! Except this little guy is not shy at all and is out in open view all the time unlike my other 2, the Snowball and Golden Nugget. The shrimp is very good with spot feeding and it's also quite awesome to watch. So this is my Royal Pleco and Bamboo Shrimp which are both in different tanks, bought them today from Dobbies Also a picture of his tail because I like it, lol

Nice. I would love to have a nugget but just out of price range.

Nice additions. Bamboo shrimp are fun to watch. My wife got one as a hitch hiker when she bought some plants at a LFS. I don't know how they missed it but lucky me. It's already molted once so I guess it'll be around for a while.

 

[Cleggat]

Thanks guys, they both are really warming up to their tanks

These guys really cling on for dear life.. I had to leave the net in the tank because he wouldn't come off it no matter what mine cost me £10 so it's a nice hitch hiker all in.

Last week he wouldn't let go of the sponge filter after I pulled it out of the tank. I had to push him off.

 

[Cleggat]

Haha, I tried to push mine off.. He just ran around the net..

Cool! Be careful with that bamboo! They need a good bit of flow in their tank.

Ty! He was £36, for the shrimp he's being shy today, any time I go near the tank the fans get drawn in, so it's kind of hard to spot feed today lol

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

he was a pretty penny lol.

how big is the shrimp? x

 

[Cleggat]

He's 2 inches in length, he eats.. And he eats... Then he eats some more, after that he sleeps.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

ahhh so he's got my kinda lifestyle -.- lol!

Royals are really cool. I picked one up almost a year ago and he's grown from 3" to like 7" can't get an accurate measurement he moves to much. Does anyone know if two royals would get a long?
