2g Hawaiian volcano shrimp paradise

[tang daddy]

Well someone had to be the 1st on bca to do it.... So after JL got their latest order in of these volcano shrimp which look similar to PFR I thought I would give it a shot and set up a tank. I went to the landscape place on Byrne rd and got some lava chips and then to Jl to pick up the shrimp. I also got a commensal shrimp that lives on coral aswell a red starfish. I decided to set up this tank with a salinity of 1.025 because I want to put some corals in later. This tank will be an invert tank with cool little creatures, coral and macro algae. I will get some pics up after I set up the tank tonight!

Tank specs: 2g glass with lid
Lighting: Fluval compact 13w fixture
Filter: small sponge with air pump
Heater: small nano heater
Substrate and deco: live sand and Volcano chips
Inhabitants: 10 volcano shrimp, commmensal shrimp and red starfish

saw these lil guys yesterday, the thought had crossed my mind just worried that a 4 line wrasse would make quick work of em

You're about 2 days late to be the "first" on BCA. Got Felicia's volcanoes on Saturday Chris Second is still not bad, eh.

Fortunately, I already had a small species tank empty and cycled.

Can't wait to see pics, I've wanted these guys for years! (Ever since I saw them for sale in Hawaii) ... But be really careful, you probably already know but a starfish in a 2g is risky.

Hi I a newbie from Singapore, I am interested in Volcano Shrimp as aquarium pet. If there a place I can buy these shrimps and accessories at an affordable price?
