huge bamboo shrimp!

[ric maniac]

I got back from my lfs an hour ago and I bought a 4 1/2 inch bamboo shrimp! He is so cool. By far the biggest one I've ever seen. My dad was threatening to eat him though.

[ric maniac]

ill never find a big one so ill get the small one and grow him

Bamboo shrimp are filter feeders and like kinda strong flow. You should add some phytoplankton into the tank every now and then. In how big of a tank is he in?

 

[ric maniac]

he is in a 20g and i add phyto once every day with a turkey baster directly to him and my other one.
