Anyone Keep Hamlets?

I've kept several, from young to adult size (from 1 to 5 inch). They are shy in tanks, but do well, eat everything and had no trouble keeping them. I don't like the blue, they tend to fade in my tanks, but I've caught shy, yellow tail, black, tan, and indigo that all looked good. I used to like them and tried to keep as many as I could. The problem with them as far as I'm concerned is they eat my ornamental shrimp, and I can't have that.
 
I had an Indigo Blue for awhile. At first it was shy and hid alot only coming out to eat. After getting settled in it was out all the time. It ate like a pig. I never had any trouble with it. One day it did eat my lawnmower blenny. I saw its head sticking out of it mouth. It died a few days later.
