A question about sexy shrimp

I wouldn't doubt that the clown would leave them alone when they are about mid range or larger size. But the ones I got from Liveaquaria were super tiny, just a tad bigger than the frozen mysis that I feed mine so I wouldn't want to risk that.

 

Actually I was going to go to my LFSs to see if they have any in stock.

 

Any shrimp that goes into my tank gets ripped to pieces by my clown fish, even large fire shrimp. She will not rest until she hunts them down and kills them.

 

omg that's terrible. But when I kept a hermit crab for a lil while(decided it wasn't right for me) the clownfish seemed to ignore him and his klutzy self

 

If you really like these guys then maybe it's time to hook up a refugium.

 

A refugium?? May I ask what that is?

 

Basically it's just a small tank or an area of the sump where small critters like copepods reproduce without predators being able to get to them.

 

ah... that's cool. I really do like these guys :-( but i'd love to see them in a display tank... maybe it might be time to start a second nano??

 

Maybe so. This hobby is very addicting. lol

Here's a link I found where someone put them in a nano tank:
