Just fished this baby out of a rock. My first one, well that I knew of. Had to try a little fresh tap water to force him out and a pair of pliers to enlarge to rock opening. So he's in my sump now ready for a new home.

He's a fighter . . . makes me question why I don't where stainless mesh gloves the next time I put my hand back in the tank to constantly rearrange my rock.

Anyways who wants him??? I'm in Dalton, GA on your way to The Aquatic Wildlife Center.

Hopefully the trauma didn't hurt him. - Dale

Do you have a description/picture of the shrimp?Don't believe everything you hear about them either,very few can shatter aquarium glass.

 

[phishschtick]

I did not take a picture, but he's brownish black with some orange on the bottom. Cool looking eyes.

I'd hate to see him die and would really prefer someone to take him off my hands. He's in my sump with a fairly high flow so I'm sure he'd like to find a better home

In the meantime, other than thumbs, what should I feed him?

 

[mantisshrimp]

feed him appropriately sized hermit crabs.

 

[phishschtick]

really don't want to extinguish my hermits, does anyone know if they will they eat anything else? Raw shrimp? hmmm....

 

[mantisshrimp]

it may eat raw shrimp.

shrimp, krill, fish pieces, ghost shrimp, anything. i had a large one that ate a mouse once (not my doing, roommates thought they would have fun before i got home from work).
