Greenteam Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 So I was watching some videos of tanks over seas and I saw a guy had some of this little guys running around his shrimp tank. Has anyone here ever try them or know what they might require care wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I had some with my shrimp.. I didn't do anything special for the. They don't live. Very long, about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy12484 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yup and they are all wild caught so who the heck knows how old they are when ya get them. The ones I had made it about 8 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 True that's a bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I wonder how hard it is to breed these guys, I havent found much information on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Rachel managed to accidentally breed them once, but I don't think she succeeded after that. From what I understand, breeding in captivity is very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Breeding isn't the problem... No one has been able to keep the fry alive for more than a day or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Larval stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think so... I'll tell ya this if someone could figure out the secret they would have a gold mine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I still think they look so cool makes me wanted want to get a few regardless if they breed or not. Almost like having some Amano shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 They are cool... I really enjoyed the ones that I had. If they had a longer life span I would get more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Its like the mantis shrimp (i know its not a shrimp lol) They are pretty easy to pair but no one can keep them alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 If not a shrimp, what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I am totally content not owning an animal capable of breaking out of his enclosure. Especially not by shattering it to pieces. Nothing good ever comes from a jailbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Last escapee had diarrhea in three places. On carpet. I'm also somehow still chasing down crickets. I last fed a batch ... Four weeks ago? Yeah, sticking to worms from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
