Harlequin Shrimp

[Don-Coraleone]

how often do they need to eat? will they be ok for a couple of days?

 

[michael_cb_125]

Yep. I would not recommend it, but they can go a few weeks without a meal. I give my shrimp 1 to 2 stars per week.

do you give them choclate chip stars? maybe they dont like the linkias as much.

 

[michael_cb_125]

That is what I feed normally.
Cheap....and ugly.
I could not feed a pretty blue star.

Well I have seen my harlequin eating a few asterinas but I still saw one last night on the glass. I will give it another week and then if I don't see anymore I'll drop in a chocolate. Unfortunately none of my LFS will give me a deal on them, their price is $19.99

i was thinking of getting a pair of harlequin shrimp, would they be ok with other inverts? specifically peppermint shrimp, skunk cleaner shrimp, and snails.... cleaner crews i'm setting my tank soon 29 biocube and just getting ready

what kind of cleaners can i have with the harlequin shrimp,
as for fish mandarin? what do you guys think? i also have a refugium where i will keep a collection of 3 choc chip starfish and rotate them in the refugium soo i can keep an endless supply? what do the starfish eat?

thank you
