trinity Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Didnt want to encroach on the hawkfish post so started this new one. This photo is for lynda The mushroom in pic is about 5" across, should give you an idea how big my cleaner shrimp is, overdue for another shedding of shell.

suphew Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 just to add to the post, what other shrimps do people have? I have two cleaners, yellow boxer, and an anenome shrimp. both the boxer and anenome shrimps are pretty shy and only come out late at night so have no pic's. my cleaners are a couple inchs in the body.

ghostface Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 i have some peppermint shrimps. hardly ever see them, and not sure if they are eating apstasia. there seems to be less small apstasia though, and i have spotted one of them poking a head out from a hole in the rock once or twice. sometimes see their shed shells about so know that they are still around somewhere. they are some of the ones that hollywood had recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yip. My shrimp have been in my tank for just on 18 months and I assume were about 6 months at the time. I assume max tank size is about as large as they get. About 3 inchs maybe 3.5 inchs (not including feellers) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I always have a good laugh during feed time with my shrimp :lol: They leap off the rock with their legs and the little white feelers infront moving so fast but the shrimp is hardly going anywhere :roll: They also love stealing the food out of my mushrooms :evil: I have seen them stash food into the crevices in the rock and still come back for more food :roll: Hence I watch how much i feed them now :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Sorry about the very poor picture, it ws taken at 3 in the morning pitch black and was in the back corner of the tank. Anyway, yellow banded/boxer shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think you'd have to put that through a hollywood style image enhancement program to make that a very poor picture. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 LOL I did say at the start it was pretty difficult to get a photo off it. Its also the first time in 2-3 weeks that I have actually seen it, it doesn't come out till well after midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
