Sexy Shrimp

[kels]

I love how sexy shrimp look and I want 3 because i heard they are best to be kept in groups of 3 or more but on nano reefers one member said that when his sexy shrimp gets hungry he will start to eat his zoas and his rics is this true?

Thanks

I had 2 and never had a problem in my tank.

feed the shrimp.. doesn't take much to keep a sexy shrimp happy. If someone is starving a sexy shrimp to the point its looking for other things to eat, they are not feeding their tank enough.

But I've never heard of them being a problem.... chances are they were just picking over them and not actually consuming them.

I agree. When I had a couple a few years ago they actually took up with my ric. They treated it like there home. I never saw one pick at anything in my tank. I would like to get some again but they are so expensive now. I can remember paying $6 or $7 for them.

there is a group but and they are going for $6 that why i am considering them

I saw that group buy but it is a little far for me. I usually don't get in on group buys that are that far away.

Just make sure you don't have any fish that will eat them.
