im kinda glad i cant feed it to the fish they looked tasty lol i will check out the frozen stuff.

i do like the coral banded even if he is a basterd and my scooter has been seen eating mysis as well so im not too worried about him. even my huge emerald crab that apeared as a hitchhiker likes to grab the turkey baster and feed off a few mysis he is a pig tho and never wants to let go.

i had ordered some pepermint shrimp a few weeks back but they where DOA. next order maybe. for now ill just try to feed them by hand and make sure they are full.

thank you for all your input

The point I was trying to make is that the scooter, goby, linkia and star are competing for the same food source. If you introduce other critters that compete one of them will lose out.

Any shrimp is a pig they will eat asmuch food as you can put in front of them I had 2 cleaner shrimp one testpassed and the other killed and eat it in one sitting then altter that evening ate again when I was feeding the tank. Its a PIG its a PIG not a shrimp. He is almost eating size deffinitly larger than some of the shrimp you can buy in the grosery stores. These cleaner shrimp always have been fed regularly and when I hand feed the Nems I have to give them some shrimp pieces first or they try and steel from the Nems. I have a pink tip florida long tentical Nem which they seem to be able to walk al over and move the tenticals away from the food if they wish to do so and a small GBTA which they can reach the food without touching it. daring little buggers I tell you. My kids tank has a small coral banded shrimp they liked the look of it and it does not try to steel foor for the seabee Nem in there, it stays for now anyways.
