Yup, fish eater. The ring claw macro is a little better behaved, that only eats baby fish.

Mine were £2.50 each in our LFS, who had them badly labled as just "Freshwater Shrimp". lol. They don't stock shrimp all of the time though, just every now and then. When they do though they seem to get bamboo, cherry, macros and chameleon shrimp, no amano's oddly though. Got my amanos nice and cheap from zoostock though.

Could also be that they actually have ring claw shrimp rather than red claw, these are much better behaved with fish.

Most shrimp however eat a mixture of algae and whatever they can get their claws on that is small enough, including small particles of fish food. Many shrimp keepers like to supplement their diet with either shrimp food like JBL Novo Prawn or crustacean food like Hikari Crab Cuisine as these can help with moulting. Ade |
