ghost shrimp question..

[cateyes]

are there salt water and fresh water ghost shrimp?

i've been doing some past forum reading and it is said not to feed SW ghost shrimp to your CB seahorses because in doing that you are introducing the pathogens you were trying to avoid by buying CB seahorses... they say feed FW ghost shrimp.....

can someone elaborate on this subject??

thanks a lot,,, lisa

The common name ghost shrimp most often refers to fresh water shrimp IME. Ghost shrimp can be converted to salt water in time, it's not a hard thing to do.

I fed fresh water ghosts for many years, they make a good die IME. They are also easy to gut load if you choose to do so.

i read somewhere that you had a 10 gallon set up for them.. can you pass along the info on your setup and process for converting them to SW?
anything you can share will be greatly appreciated...
