Do these migrate to salt water once mature?

no totally freshwater they dont grow any bigger then 1 cm and act the same and eat the same sorts of things as shrimp and require the same care as dwarf shrimp

What are you keeping them with?

What are you keeping them with?

brigitte rasboras (about 1-1.5 cm), pygmy corys , 1 habrosus cory and lots of shrimp
they've been in there for a couple of hours and doing great they have stayed at the front at the mo will lose them when they wander in lol

i paid £20 for 5 a bit steep i know soon they'll be cheaper but i so wanted them

Wow, where was this, the lfs?! I am soo getting some of these! £20 for 5 is much more affordable than it is to import them.

Congrats on getting some pippoodle. I am looking forward to hearing about how they do. This species is very high on my want list.

They have now disappeared deeper into the tank so i might not see them for a while - saying that though i did see some of them when i dropped in some micro sinking pellets and some shrimp pellets they came and were eating some with the shrimp and the corys

Wow, congrats, Sarah, you always get the coolest critters!
You have the most amazing taste - and LFS...
