Ghost Shrimp

Was cool to watch them scurry around the tank finding little bits of food.
Admittedly lost about 15 of them in the first hour. Most of which is courtesey of Nemo my Lutino albino Oscar. He was refusing to eat pellet food for about almost 2 weeks so I brought home these shrimp to see if he'd chow down. And boy did he. Only problem is after about the first 12 he stopped eating them and just went about killing. He'd strike chew and spit em back out. Now I've got a monster mess to clean in the tank but at least Nemo had a meal.

I have ten of them in my 15 gallon with mollies and danios. They are excellant cleaners and find their own food by searching in the gravel with their arms. I have one that uses its arms to clean its eyeball, its so funny.

After seeing them in action in that tank I may try them in my tropical tank.
The tank they're in right now though they're basically food for a 10 inch oscar.

I have 4 or 5 left in my community tank. The betta snacks on them occasionally. I really enjoy watching them swim with all their little legs going at the same time. I've tried them in my tanks that just have bettas in them, but they always wind up as dinner.
