How shrimps can i put in a 56 gal? I was thinking some cleaners and fire shrimps. How do you feed harqulean shrimp? Can you buy starfish legs?
Thanks,

herlequins are very hard to keep as they require starfish legs (you cant buy them that i know of) so you have to get live starfish and butcher them

but im not sure how many shrimp can fit in that tank, i would think 3-4 max

Ohh, i think thats too much work. Their really cool looking though. Maybe one day. They look like their wearing pajamas!! Are they at all benifitial?

You can actually keep thos herlequins shrimp and keep up feeding them stare fish legs, you can get another tank and get a TON of stare fish and each time you need to feed the shrimp cut one leg off and feed it to the shrimp while it grows back, and while its growing back cut another stare fish leg off and so on.
