I hope that you can make it to a meeting so we can meet you in person. dsoz Probably the reason why I join the forum. I always thought Kayes were the only fish store in town. Hope to meet some of you people in person and hope to absorb your reef keeping expertise. that coral banded shrimp sure was hungry. Those xenias do grow like weeds. Thanks for sharing!!! (clap) He was suppose to be my last livestock but he didnt turn out too well for me. Very agressive shrinp. He didnt actually eat the fish. For all the fish he killed, he manage to de-fin most of them. Once that happened, they ended up dying from starvation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octoman Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 a little butter and garlic will fix him! (hungry) Only kidding!!! (laugh) Yeah my kids wanted to flush him down the toilet. I ended up turning our 2 gallon beta fish into a SWFOLR tank. He seems to be happy there on his own. Its funny, everytime you pass by his tank his claws are up ready for battle.
