Question??!!

What is a good shimp to get for my tank and that also can kinda of help out my bta?

Cleaner shrimp is often nice to have, depending on what other creatures you may have in the tank. However there are not many shrimp that can help your BTA. There are some so called anemone shrimp, but I would think that the benifits of that relationship are more in favor of the shrimp than the anemone itself.
What did you want the shrimp to help with?

Something to help the bta. What does the fire shrimp do for the tank?

 

[thomas712]

Fire shrimp is just another type of cleaner shirmp really.
I've been raising BTA's for quite some time, best thing you can give them is a healthy enviroment, great lighting, and if you wish clownfish. IMO

Thanks Tom.
I have mated pair of false clowns but they are hosting a fake piece of coral

. They have never layed eggs. But they are both tank raised so i think the odds are slim for them to host my new bta.
