Bumble Bee Shrimp

I quickly snapped some pics when I noticed one of my bumble bees came out to eat a flake

Edging away from thieving snail:

I'm thinking of adding some shrimp to my tank at some point once I've added some fish. Are they relatively easy to keep? I've had conflicting reports but know that they should be carefully acclimatised.

I got six of them in the post. Two were D.O.A, another one died not long after and now I definitely have atleast two out of the six. If you can avoid buying them online and instead buying them in a shop I'd go for it.

Yip they are only about 2cm and the flake was pretty big to be fair!
It kinda reminds me of me with my security blanket in bed.

I'm kinda partial to my shrimpy friends. I'm sure puffer food would hitch a ride though!

Great photos very difficult to get them out of hiding, i used to have bb shrimps they disapeared rapidly, it was only durring some routine plant trimming that i found one inside a curled up aponogeton leaf as i was about to bin it, feel very guilty i think i threw them all in the bin
