    My tank has been up a month now. Already cycled, spiked & dropped a/b 2 weeks ago. I was recommended to save some money before buying things & one was a peppermint shrimp. But I read somewhere they are hardy. I just went to FL last weekend & caught (& bought) some inverts8).

    Anyways, What do y'all think a/b the p. shrimp?:-/

    I personally like pep shrimp they are great for eating aiptasia. I would add a cleaner shrimp before a pep shrimp IMO.

    Agree with above, would get a cleaner shrimp first. Peppermint shrimp are nice too though. Had one of those years ago.
