Ghost Shrimp?

[Grymatta]

really? i have yet to see my shrimp eat a flake.

Usually I just see them sitting around, cleaning themselves like a cat..or is that how they eat? They have this fast scooping motion with their front legs..

i've seen ghost shrimp eat flakes, they pick it up with their big claws and just sit there and stuff it into their mouth i've also seen my shrimp do tricks like jump onto a big block of tubifex worms

most of the prices on that sight is pretty good except the red cherry shrimp which is like double the normal price...

If you're ever in the Houston area we'll go shrimpin' for free. I caught more ghost shrimp than I can count on my in-law's farm this weekend. Probably 100-150. I caught 3 one day while looking for striped mnnows. Then my brother-in-law told me a trick and it was Katie-bar-the-door. I was thinking of poor Stevie over in Ireland with his 1 Euro ghost shrimp there.

Now, how to rid them of parasites/etc... without killing them.

Any ideas? Are they even a host?

thanks DKE!

I'm in Brooklyn, NY. I know where CLifton is..maybe I'll swing by and check it out. I already got some amanos and I'm happy with em..so maybe I'll just stick with them for now.

will shrimps be ok in a community tank ? will they not get eaten by the other fish ? because i was thinking of getting a few in th enew tank ?

Shrimp generally do OK in community tanks, looking at your list of fish though your cichlids might eat them. The RAMs might be OK about them though. Ghost shrimp are so cheap to buy per dozen that I throw a dozen in my tank perodically and let them get eatin, while they're alive they clean up stuff on the bottom of the tank.
