I need some Harlequin Shrimp!

SOM N Liberty for you $28

 

Just be prepared to get rid of him after he has eaten them all. I could not get mine to eat anything else. It seemed tword the end after he had most of them cleared out he started to only eat a few legs off of each one vs. the whole star fish. That way he did not starve himself. But I still felt there were not enough in the tank for him to live so I traded him to Hung.

 

Bullet - the reason you couldn't get them to eat anything else is because they don't!

Many people buy a starfish for them every week or two if they have them in their tank for long periods. I've ever heard of people keeping the starfish in their sump and cutting off a leg or two at a time and feeding it to the harlequin's. that way the starfish regenerates and you don't have to buy new ones all the time.

 

At Pets Playhouse a couple months ago they had a harlequin in the same display as a choc. chip star. He was perched right on top of the star livin' it up! I guess if you run out of small stars you could buy a choc. chip, they're not too expensive but I have no idea how fast they get eaten either.

a chocalte chip once a month takes atleast a week or two for them to eat it and i have found their personal favorite is chocolate chip

 

I wonder if the harlequin shrimp gave the chocolate chip star it's name. Because it's so tasty!

 

mmm, a chocolatechip cookie sounds really good!

 

Post some pics of them eating starfish if you get a chance. That would be interesting to see.

 

it is so cool to see, the way they stab them!

 

I know Janna used to keep Harley's. She had them for a long time on her counter. They were fed chocolate chip legs... /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/tongue.gif

Hung is the man!!!  I get a crack out of him.  He really will hook you up if you are a regular.  I nearly all of my broodstock clown pairs from him.  Anyone know how his black clowns are doing?  Are they 3/4 an inch yet?

 

Was just there today, he said 2 more weeks before they are ready.....at least i think that is what he said.

LOL
