What is your favorite shrimp?

I currently have a peppermint cleaner, blood red fire shrimp, and a harlequin in my tank. I am thinking about adding another shrimp and was just wondering what everyones favorite is. It would be cool to have something rare/colorful.

 

I used to have 2 Pacific cleaner shrimp in my 29g. But I really like the look of pederson shrimp. Either those or sexy shrimp have to be my favorite. The cleaner shrimp were nice too, although much more common.

 

I really like the sexy shrimp as well.

 

The sexy shrimp looks awesome, but all the ones I can find for sale are so small...1/4"-1/2". Does anyone know how I could get my hands on a larger specimen? Liveaquaria also says they do best in small groups...I wonder why? How many would be considered a small group?

 

Cajun:

 

You could probaby buy a 1/2" one for $10~$12. If you want a 1" one, expect to pay $45~$50. You LFS can order them in but they certainly aren't going to order them unless because I've seen them on the wholesale price lists, there is a special request.

I would order at least 3 (preferably 5). If you don't have both sexes, they will just sit there as opposed to doing their "sexy dance". BTW, like clownfish, they don't require an anemone.

 

sexy shrimp are really cool

 

+1 to sexy shrimp ;D that is why im making a tank dedicated to them, and do you think 5 sexy shrimp in a 5.5 would be to much?

 

That should be fine.

 

Sexy shrimp !!
