The cutest shrimp on the planet!!

[thejoie]

These are my sexy shrimp! They are SOOO tiny! These guys are about 1/2 inch MAX. I have one that is probably closer to 1/4ths inch- they are so hard to photograph!!
They're called sexy shrimp because their tails extend upward and "wavy"! They are so cute to watch. They're pretty active. Not shy at all. I have 5 and love them in that tank! They're in this tank http://forums.avianavenue.com/other-than-feathers-speedway/30751-saltwater-fish-tank.html

Cute! What are the white spots all over them? (Is that a stupid question?)

Hey, they are pretty sexy looking!

I was gonna ask the same thing re: white spots.

 

[thejoie]

lol that's their "look"- they're sort of polka-dotted

 

[Thugluvgrl187]

They are cute! Just curious, what do they eat?

 

[thejoie]

they have special shrimp pellets. But they love to eat mysis shrimp too!

Thanks. I thought so. They kind of remind me of clown fish with the white. Very pretty.

Oh how awesome!! I love fish, I've kept them for years. All freshwater, though. Saltwater's too expensive for me right now but I'd love to try it out! I do mostly planted tanks.

 

[thejoie]

I'm a huuuge fan of planted tanks. My dream is to start a 150 gallon planted tank!

Wow that is neat! I hope to see more pictures of these cuties in the future

That's one shrimp I never kept, but they are cute

I miss my tank, but I also enjoy my lower electric bill!

that's why I'd never do another big reef tank! I had a 30 gallon and woooow did it cause a huge spike in the bills. This just has a 30 watt light? I'm thinking about doing some LED lights. It's save long term. I am tempted to do a seahorse/pipefish tank too. I promised Jer a Lionfish/Puffer tank too.. but he can keep that in his "man cave" when that's ready.
