    So far I am quite disappointed with the shrimp. Have rarely gotton a glimpse of it as it stays hidden behind rock all of the time.

    Is it really shy, nocturnal or just getting adjusted to new environment? :-/

    I hate to have such a cool looking animal and never get to see it. Harlequins and blood shrimp bad enough. :disappoin

    Do you hand feed it shrimp every now and then? I do mine about 1x per week and he knows what's up when I put my hand in the tank!! But he does come out all the time. I love to watch him float/swim from one rock to another!
