Hope I don't have to add a volcano deco JK

Thanks for the info. Perfect for one of my planned soft coral and small fish tank.

They are VERY hardy shrimp however I believe they have larva, which need brackish water

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

They can go from brackish to more than full-strength salt.

They are extremely hardy and can live 20 freakin years. In the wild, they live in tidal pool-type environments where the salinity and temperatures fluctuate like crazy.

They are small though, only 1 to 1.5cm max.

Eat algae. Need a species tank since they are so small. Smaller than cherries, for instance.

I picked up 20 from J&L yesterday.

In Hawaii they are sold as live food and also for live seahorse treats.

Are they ok with Clownfish and Cardinal or they will be sank for them?

Aren't these the shrimp that are sold in those self contained ecospheres?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Yes, but the shrimp slowly starve to death in those "ecospheres". Cruel really. No feeding, no water changes, etc.

I was at jl and contemplating getting some. When people say they breed easy do they mean like cherries shrimp?

Cool. Do you know how much J&L is selling them for?
