Sexy Shrimp pics
 
One never sees anough pics of Sexy Shrimp, so I will try a few. They are hard to photograph because they are at the back of a 18" tank. They hang around in the vicinity of this Ricordia. I guess they think it is an anemone.:mrgreen:

Thanks Ryan. There are actually four of them. It's too bad I can't get a decent shot of them walking upside down on the water surface to snag flake food.:sad:

For anyone considering getting some sexy's .... make sure you have no "hungry" fish.. they will be eaten. My YWG ate all of mine, eventually.... until one went zooming by him , he just attacked and chomped down....then realized, "hey! there's more of these tasty treats hangin around here" [possibly some bad luck on my part though]

Also, I would recommend not putting these in anything bigger than 20g , honestly... you won't find them haha, they are so tiny. Do not put them in higher flow tanks, they will just hide in the back all the time, or if you're lucky.. you'll see them hanging in a cave or overhang where the flow is less...

They are indeed very cool little creatures, I think they should only be kept in SMALL nanos... I'd go as far to say a 10g would be best.. they are just so small and fragile.. they don't like high flow at all.

Just a heads up to future sexy owners :) These guys do have some extra care requirements IME.
