siva said:I have a couple of them, as well as the larger vampire shrimp, which is even more hideous/cool. They are very prone to starvation as it's hard for them to filter enough food in most aquariums. Depending on what size tank you have him in, you should supplement with micro foods for filter feeders. Also they are social and do much better when kept in a pair or group.
They come in all different colors, but I've never seen white! Mine were already a couple inches when I got them, so I can't say for sure. They do change colors sometimes though, and when I purchased them they were very different colors but once together in my tank they synced up.Mine is always hanging upside down from my driftwood collecting food, and the second one hiding somewhere nearby.
I am wondering when young are they mostly white? Mine are white.
Well, they already have the shrimp, and the cray would eat it, so that makes no sense.
It's really not quite as interesting. Mine is always in hiding. I next to never see it.Vampire shrimp are most creepy of all. What's it like having them?
At least bamboo shrimp aren't dangerous to fish, unlike craycrays!
