Fire Shrimp

[Aqua Tom]

I was in my local LFS today & he had "Fire Shrimp" for £22. Now i dont know if thats a good price but these guys are nutters, bright red & white, whilst also being fairly hefty for a shrimp. He had two in a tank so I peered closeley & one ran over waving its pincers in a "what u looking at" way. I thought it was absolutley amazing.

My partners dad has a fire shrimp as well he only ever comes out when he is being fed... He is like a mini whirlwind, comes out, runs about and is gone again

Real common name is blood shrimp or red fire shrimp, chunky little feller, saltwater (marine only this one) £18-25 is about right, size deep colour etc

Easy to keep eats chunks or scavenges and hides a lot, impressive when out thou, norm at feeding-time or night

Not sure computability thou,,, not with mantis or boxer for sure as they attack others

Fresh can be a lot more expensive then that a good CRS will go for 50-75 a special colouration can be pretty much priceless.
