shrimps.

Those of you who've read "Bored with my tank..." post will know I'm planning on getting amano shrimp for my 15gall. I'm thinking of getting 5/6ish to put in there, but I was just thinking, do u think I could maybe put 2 or 3 in the 7.5gall too?

Also, I just remembered last night, that i'd never acctualy asked what they eat. Will they just eat flakes etc. that fall to the floor of the tank or do I need to feed them something different?

thanks

I think they pretty much eat leftovers/algae.

I don't see a problem with putting them in a 7.5 gal unless there's stuff in there that will eat them

 

Mine jump up to catch the flakes!! Very funny and they seem to eat ANYTHING!

One of my new ones is almost 6cm long now so i'd just consider that as it was so cute and small when I got it. This one is called 'lightening' because of the speed it shot out of the bag into the tank, it swims around With the Guppies!!!

 

hehe. cool. Thanks for your help.

yea, those little buggers are crazy to catch with how fast they swim around.

remember that shrimp need human flesh when the moon turns blue Gwenz.

 

haha yeah good point re human flesh. I plan on using one of my dads toes!!

 

lol! tanks for the warning!
