Petersons Shrimp

[firemountain]

Everyone,

I am getting ready to add my first couple of shrimp in my newly cycled tank. Sofar I only have a few snails and electric blue hermits.

I came across the Peterson shrimp, and really like them...

Does anyone have these in their tank and/or know about them?? I will eventually add a few skunk cleaners down the road, and I heard they are compatible. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

They're pretty much the same as regular cleaners. I believe peterson will also host anemones too!

Unforunantly they're a little hard to come by. Liveaquaria's diver's den gets them in occasionaly but that listing you posted got only 1 in since they even added that listing..

I've kept them. They're not hard to care for, but be aware that they can jump out of an uncovered tank. I've lost them that way before. Sealifeinc.com has them fairly often.

Interesting....I did realize they were jumpers. I read on one website that they don't do well in shipping, but I am willing to take my chances. I will check out sealifeinc.com ....thanks. Plus I like the bonus that they host anemones.

Those are cool! I've never seen them before but all shrimp can jump. Not will, but can. I've lost a few freshwater ghost shrimp to this.:sad1:
