Well, I threw 8 Ghost shrimp in about 2 days ago, and now they are all gone. I'm really happy he ate them, he's getting the idea for hunting live food. I loved watching him try and flank the shrimp. At first he was a little curious, he thought he could just go in and get them, but he found out that he had to work hard for them. However, I'm a little concerned, but I didn't want to put it in the emergencies. It looks like cosmo's belly is a TINY bit black, right near his yellow top. I will post some pics shortly, but is this something to worry about? He doesn't appear to be sick...
 
yea mine has that problem too, how can u affor 8 ghost shrim there $8 each here and there like 3mm each
 
Wow, ghost shrimp are around an inch here, and 30 cents a piece!
 
I can get them for about 10 cents and they are 1 to 2 inches long.
 
I read that ghost shrimp are sold as Ornamental shrimp sometimes and Feeders others. Maybe this accounts for different prices?
 
They were 25 cents a peice, and there is only one left.
 
god its so expensive 10 cents omg i wish they has some sense $8 for a tiny ghost shrimp $7 for a blue snail size of a penny $1000 for a 40g tank with notihng in it only stand tank light and filter
 
I guess it was just dullness or the shrimp in his body because it's gone now.. He is so happy and loves loves live food. It's going to be hard to get him to go back to frozen brine shrimp. :/
 
I recently fed my puffs an amano shrimp that was not looking like he would survive the move from lfs to my home. The little shrimpy was listless and looking mostly dead.

Chucked him in my GSP tank as if I was going to loose a £1.50 shrimp it may as well be to the GSPs :D

I was mortified! The GSP that got him didnt even bother taking him out with a kill bite.... he just chewed into the shrimps midrift, the shrimp then folded and he sucked him in...... poor little fella, guess I'm not cut out for feeding live food :)
