Thoughts on Peppermint Shrimp

Very cool invertebrate in my personal experince. They have this rocking like movement that they do when not mobile. A common conseption is that local fish stores label camel shrimp as peppermint shrimp.

As Mr.Peanut mention they eat apatisa which is the reason I purchase mine. I like the mobility that they have when lighting isn't on. They will surf upside down on the waters surface and skate around the glass of a tank which is quite a skeptical. My Peppermint shrimp will eat mysis shrimp, formula 2, and mainly any frozen meaty food.

Aiptasia eater? maybe, maybe not
| Comments |
I got 2 of these guys thinking they would gobble down the one aiptasia i have growing in my tank...2 months later, they're still here and so is my aiptasia. i have tried to avoid getting them any food so they'll be forced to snack on it, but they won't...they are entertaining after the moon lights come on they climb to a high point in the tank and sway back and forth in rhythm like they're dancing together.
