My new fish + inverts ...finally

I havent got pics yet, but today I added a harlequin shrimp (and CC star), 2 randall's gobies, 3 blueleg hermits, 3 margarita snails.

I got the LFS ordering 3 sexy shrimp and looking for a pair of pistol shrimp. Anybody know of an online site that sells pairs?

 

I'm not sure you want to put pistols in with your harlequins as the harlequins might become a very expensive meal for the pistols. Just food for thought.

 

You think so? I wasnt planning on getting the tiger pistols. I'd heard the "randall's" or candy cane/stripe are more laid back and near blind

Seeing as how you have a harlequin in your sig, I think I'll trust your word though

 

Well, pistol shrimp eat other shrimp in the wild so you really shouldn't mix them, especially in a smallish tank like yours. The fact that they're blind doesn't mean that they can't hunt. Adapt and survive

 

Oh you are sp lucky, I would love a harlequin shrimp! Their diet is too expensive and I have never seen this shrimp for sale out here.

 

Yeah, they were a special order and not too common around anywhere.

Also added!! 10-11 frags from DLC. 6 Sexy Shrimp. 1 Sand Sifting Star.

Amcarrig, do/does your harlequin(s) eat sand sifters? Its hard to find Linckias around here...

 

These shrimp will only eat starfish. I've heard of them eating asterina stars but never saw mine do it. I fed mine chocolate chip starfish. They're cheaper than linkias and easier to find.

 

Harlequin shrimp and wounded star


Wall hammer


Randall's goby - very shy...and a quick little SOB

I'll have to add more pics (and steal my g/fs camera) to get shots of the sexy shrimp and the new coral i have

- stupid question time again...what exactly are "micros" as in micromussa. And how do they differ from acans?

 

Cool looking I always wanted a Harlequin....Poor star.

 

Sweet looking pic. Love the hammer mine is 4 years old now and is 11 inches across.
