Eat fish

Yup, fish eater. The ring claw macro is a little better behaved, that only eats baby fish.

I saw these yesterday. I wanted

but i thought my dwarf puffers would be at risk? lol

 

[Wolfenrook]

There's a small chance yeah, but I have kept them with neon tetras, kuhli loaches...... I still have a female in there (the males are MIA).

[Esfa]

well i dont have the £8 each for them, anyway.

 

[Wolfenrook]

Mine were £2.50 each in our LFS, who had them badly labled as just "Freshwater Shrimp". lol. They don't stock shrimp all of the time though, just every now and then. When they do though they seem to get bamboo, cherry, macros and chameleon shrimp, no amano's oddly though. Got my amanos nice and cheap from zoostock though.

mine were "freshwater prawns"

Ahhhh, macrobrachium rosenbergii, not a good choice for keeping with fish.

They might well be, but the odds are that any guppy fry get eaten. Could also be that they actually have ring claw shrimp rather than red claw, these are much better behaved with fish.

Uhm, there are quite a frew varieties of 'blue shrimp', rather than just one. Most shrimp however eat a mixture of algae and whatever they can get their claws on that is small enough, including small particles of fish food. Many shrimp keepers like to supplement their diet with either shrimp food like JBL Novo Prawn or crustacean food like Hikari Crab Cuisine as these can help with moulting.
