coral banded shrimp

[alienhybridx]

my shrimp just molted today and it's around 2 inches now excluding the claws
was wondering how big will it get ? it's a female
and as they get bigger can they get along with other shrimp ? or crabs ? like a pom pom crab or fire shrimp

 

[cafero702]

i dont know if they get along with other inverts. but they have one at my LFS and its about 4 to 5 inches big. its huge and i think they get a little bigger from what ive heard about them.

if you keep them well fed...they wont do this...

The guy at my LFS told me to keep him happy, I have a small 12 gallon tank, to keep him well fed. All I do is when I feed the clownfish I sink a pellet or two right next to him. I have never seen him get aggressive with any of my other inverts. I have 1 emerald crab, 1 feather duster, 1 camel shrimp, and 2 snails. I sink a pellet near my camel shrimp also.

I have a huge one,looks like a big transformer robot or something. He is currently my leading suspect in an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of one peppermint shrimp along with a very small shrimp goby.

Mine was well fed and still ate a large feather duster, attacked my hippo clown, and had constantly harassed my other shrimp. It's now a permanent resident in my fuge.

Mine was well fed and for dessert ate 2, yes 2 pepperment shrimp in one setting.
Went from being kinda cool one day to being gone the next.
Forgot, this guy was like 4 inches

Mine simply loves sushi. When I rest the tank he will be goming out!
