my arrow crab ate one of my shrimp so you may want to think about the future if you want a shrimp. also the
arrow crabs are very sensitive to salinity shock. I shocked my arrow crab when I was poring in water during a water change. I didnt realize it was right where the new water was going in. he "passed out" and rolled down the rock to the sand where a different shrinp came out and ate the arrow crab. also, they can get big. the small ones are "cute" but I have seen ones for sale that were about 6 to 7 inche size and at that size they can probably eat anything in the tank. I dont know how long it takes them to grow that big.
