I recommend ghost shrimp.

[TAL]

I do, I really do.

My ghost shrimp are hard to see and fun to find.
My ghost shrimp like to swim and climb.
My ghost shrimp will swim upside down,
to get food off of the water surface
My ghost shrimp like to scavenge around.
They eat the stuff left behind.
My ghost shrimp are very quick when threatened.
Faster than you would ever think they could be
My ghost shrimp make me happy.


So I went out and bought 4 more for the 38g tank.

They are still there....24 hours and they are makin' it!

Everyone should have ghost shrimp.

And they are cheap which I really really like!

Your fishy friend,

Those guys are freaky fast when they want to be!! Btw I'm diggin the sweet poem tal! Haha they are so cool though a lot of fun to find and watch and they help keep the tank clean

I may get 2-3 of them for my 5 gallon plus 2 RCS

I've thought that exact same thing to myself. Every planted aquarium should have a few, they play a vital role.

I'd love to have some tiger shrimp. Or other shrimp, I need a bigger collection I LOOOVEEE shrimp!!

I was eating at Red Lobster last weekend and had shrimp and suddenly felt a lot different thinking of my shrimpers. Haha

 

[Fishman1995]

LOL Rise thats kinda terrible hahaha. Ive never seen Tiger Shrimp before, but i have seen GS and RCS. im seriously considering getting a trio of each for my 5 gal

 

[TAL]

RATS...no doubt I will not eat shrimp the same way...but I will still eat it!!

Twiggles.....they really do! I wish I had bought them years ago.

Zack...yea...they have like a stars wars warp drive that sends them through space and time 3 inches away at a time!

I agree.....I want more kinds too.... If this goes well I am expanding into RCS and them maybe blue or red lobster crayfish.

Had to fish out two dead GS. Very sad.

One has taken up residence in a very smart and protected place.

The final one is MIA and presumed eaten.

The loach must go!

The ones in the 3g tank are doing well and I think one even molted because he is huge now.

GS rock.

My Kuhli loach loved eating my shrimp I found out a bit late. He has been long gone, well just lives with Betta man who keeps him in line.

Some of your shrimp are now gone
But that's no reason to cry and moan
You could buy three dozen more
Than what you could purchase one betta for

Ive seen these little chaps in my local store. Very cheap. Wat do they eat? Watever is thrown in? Mite purchase a handful and see what happens.

This is cute and totally true if they're ghost shrimp! Unlucky me, my loach was eating the more expensive shrimp..he has high quality taste lol
