bean22 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The roommate wants me to get a sexy shrimp when my tank is well and ready.... what I want to know is how likely this little guy is to be eaten by the cuc (if it can even happen) and once I get a fish (few months down the road...) will a fish end up eating it? no point in spending money on something that will be eaten!

Pier Pressure Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 This question would draw more of a response on the canreef forum. Not a lot of salt on this forum. I have a small saltwater aquarium but I do not have sexy shrimps so it has never been an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfong Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 cuc...is that cucumber? cucumbers are filter feeders....they wont eat a shrimp...even though sexy shrimp are small cuc = clean up crew, mainly hermits and snails. Hermits are opportunists and will eat whatever they can get their little claws on. My sexy shrimp was fine with them in the tank. He/she spent pretty much all the time perched near my frogspawn.
