Already have 4 Ghost, 3 Amano and 1 Bamboo Shrimp (want another 1-2)!
I already got bit!
These 2 are little. They hopped into the water, and got busy picking for food. After an hour I don't see them, they must be hiding. or sleeping. I can have the Cherry shrimp too since they are different species. They will be here next a week from Thursday since Thurs is delivery day.
One of them was looking pretty close at a guppy fry, appx. the same size as shrimp. He didn't snap at it or anything just kept eyeballing it! They are over 1/2 inches and a little more size for the other one.
Ghost shrimp - will the Ghosties want to eat the Orange Bees? Fish guy said he didn't think there would be any problems, but he also repeated a couple times he was a fish guy and didn't know much about shrimp, but he was learning.
Bamboo shrimp are filter feeders. They should be at a MAX of two in a 20g tank.
Try not to mix bee species. You'll get mutts, which are not valuable. Stick with all orange ect.
CRS need pristine water because they have been inbred so much for their red white traits. But other bee species don't need as pristine of water.
