Nice Pics :) I can't get a shot of the coral banded shrimp we have. The camera won't focus on it :mad:
I got the flame scallop from SWF as well. The "tentacles" on mine are the same deep red as the body.

Do the coral banded and the cleaner shrimp get along ok? I always thought coral bandeds had to be the only shrimp in a tank cuz they don't play nice with others...

i think its just their own species that they dont play nice with.

you should look around your tank in a couple of days because the cleaner shrimp might molt, if he is happy, also in couple of days try putting your hand next to the cleaner shrimp, he will jump on it and clean it for you

REALLY??? I was always under the impression that cb shrimp would take out any other shrimp I would put in the tank?? That would be great if I could get other shrimps...I won't take a chance as long as Scampi, my cb shrimp, is in the tank though.
Any other oppinions on that?
Great looking additions!! They look super happy. Enjoy.

I have two cleaners and 5 small peppermints with my CB shrimp. So far so good. Going on 3 months and they're all still there. The CB does chase the others away, but that's about it. Maybe the CB is just waiting to get bigger!
