Nice lookin shrimp and crab you got. sorry to hear about you losing your sexy shrimp. i am sure you could get those at your lfs alot cheaper. they sell them at my lfs for 8-12 dollars.

they sell for 20$ here when they actually have them. they rarely have them, so i thought i was being smart ordering online
never again. The bumblebee shrimp are never carried here, so i guess that partially makes up for it. The shipping was what made me mad, my order would have been 30$, but was 60 because of shipping. Glad you enjoy the tank.

btw, those are some nice acans you got!

Well i added coral and another shrimp to the tank.
I added a fire shrimp, which really brightens up the tank!
Currently i have about 10 diff zoa frags in there, i added some armor of God zoas i got from the store( got a 8 polyp piece for 25!!) and some other really awesome zoas, i havent been able to find the names of them, but the skirt is neon green, and the inside is a metallic blue color. I will get a pic up earlier.
I also added my four rics, a HUGE purple mushroom, a red blasto wellsi head, and a green centered blasto wellsi head. The tank looks awesome.!! ]
pics to come

PICS!!!!PICS!!!!PICS!!!!. WOW YOUsaid pics coming at 6 pm. Its 11pm now. where them pics at ? LOL. AND WOWWWW HOW you got all that in a 5.5 Gallon tank ? And btw EXCELLENT GRAB ON THE FIRE SHRIMP. My favoritestest shirmp ever ever ever. mine died on me about a month ago though from a bad molt :( I didnt know what he was doing and he was all twitching and stuff and my orchid dottyback kept nipping at him. And i try to just watch him and then finally just took him out of tank to try and see if it would help but he died on me :( I didnt know what was going on but my lfs said probably was trying to molt and wasn't able to do it properly. All my water params were good though. And Thanks for liking the acans :) I just got me a freebie acan echinata today because it was pretty much a skeleton :( but HAS about 4 heads still trying to hang on so hopefully they do well. Also great grab on that AOG for 25 bucks. and those shrimp you have. i never seen a bumblebee. only ones my lfs ever has is, peppermint,sexy,fire shrimp.

Current stock list is 2 mushroom coral, around 8 different zoos, 4 ricordea(thats what is in the corner
, my orange and purple, and my green ricordea)A red blasto wellsi head, and a green blasto wellsi head that just sprouted 2 babies!
For inverts i have a bumblebee shrimp (I see him hanging out all the time under rocks, and he walks around at night), sexy shrimp(he is out dancing all the time), fire shrimp(he is out all the time also), pom pom crab(dont see him much, but hes new to the tank, so mabye he is shy?) and a porcelain crab, which always comes at night, so i see him alot then, and i see him hiding in the rocks during the day)

I also have 4 nass snails and a few baby brittle stars in there for clean up crew.

Yeah, i went with a pom pom crab, he didnt have any pom poms so i figured he would be safe. He may steal a zoa polyps sooner or later which would be funny.

I just added the baby crabs into the tank. I turned off all the flow and the filter, added them, and turned it all back on 30 mins later. Im gonna have to see what happens.

Sorry to hear about your bumblebee.
I have a pom-pom crab and a sexy shrimp in my nano as well. Love them both. Tons of personality.
I love pico tank stories. Keep your thread alive!
