    You don't think that the Shrimp would get stuck to it or something? Would it be alright to add some Sexy Shrimp?

    I dont think so. I also dont think the shrimp would be too inclined to end up as food in the first place. What are you params at is the real question to ask Id say. So what are you params at?

    Ammonia: 0
    Nitrite: 0
    Nitrate: Near 0 (Probably because I don't have any fish in the tank)
    Phosphates: 0.5
    Salinity: 1.025
    Temp: 79-81 degrees

    I need to pick up more test kits for just about everything. I had to get my water tested at my LFS a few days ago and they said everything was in check. I'm not sure what brand they are using, though.

    Cam, check out Cosmos thread, I just read where he said that sexy shrimp and maxi minis are supposed to have a symbiotic relationship.....kind of cool...I just learned that because I had the same concern thinking that the maxi mini would eat shrimp....

    Sexy shrimp should be kept in atleast trios Im pretty sure. Not very big at all though. Around an inch long if Im not mistaken.

    Then I guess I'll wait for them to get 3 of them. Do you think they are a good deal at $8 each?

    That's also really tiny :-/ maybe I'll get something else.

    The only ones I saw at my LFS were super tiny but someone mentioned they may have been babies? They are so cool though....if they would stay on or near the maxi, that would look really neat though
