no they are filter feeders, so totally harmless to other aquatics
 
I just got a tank which is cycling itself at the moment - went to local fishy shop to look at my chosen species (was good and read books first), saw some Armoured Shrimp and fell in love. Hopefully tank will be ready in 2 weeks, then some Zebra danios for 2 weeks, then...... Shrimps galore!!

Guy in shop said they get quite big....his suggestion was when they're 6" - 8" long - fish 'em out and chuck 'em on the barbie!?!?!?! :no: :no: :no:

I do hope that he was joking. :nod:


Ok now since taking that horible picture I have seen my shrimps twice, and this is only whilst they move from one hidy hole to another :lol:
Just thought I'd share that.
