I've been considering a pair of bongs myself, but there's not much info on them. I'm watching.

yeah i know i'm still deciding as of now leaning towards harlequins only b/c i'm confident on them as term of care, but not a lot form bongs except for astrinas haha thats all

A large group of sexy shrimp seem to have a big following. Interesting to watch.

Do the bong shrimp have special living/feeding requierments like the harlequins?

Bongos eat starfish exclusively, just like Harlequins.. I personally tried & had little luck with harlequins. I now have a group of 3 (probably soon to expand) sexy shrimp. They have no real special requirements besides good water chem and they really are entertaining to watch...
