Peppermint shrimp

[mattb]

When do these guys come out?!?

I got four on Sunday (one died)... I got another 5 yesterday.... I've not seen them out yet. Could it be the current? I've got a 1 1/4" wave from my wavebox that throws everything around, not to mention the return and other tunze stuff....

Hey Matt,
For me it is very seldom that I see mine. About the only way i know they/it is still around is when it sheds its shell.

Yeah mine stay in the rocks all the time unless it is feeding time.

Yup I forgot I even had them.

I see their old shell more than I see them

In Bj's little tank I see them all the time but there really isn't many places to hide. Frag tank has some in there about the only time I see them is when I do spring cleaning and take all the misc. rock out.

I do have a problem ( seen it first hand ) with peppermint shrimp eating bits of a favia on the bottom so I will have to move that coral out.

Theu like to hide on the bottom side of rock.

they hide

mine hid for a few weeks, now there is one guy who's out fairly regularly and two others that come out when I feed, sometimes even to the point where they're running along the sandbed and rocks. I haven't got anyone to bully them around yet, so maybe once I get a few more fish they'll be more scared. OH, forgot to mention, the big one even came up and cleaned my hand once right beside my cleaner shrimp.

Isn't that the coolest :redhat:

[wes]

yeah dude cept when the cleaner surprised me the other day and reminded me of a scab I had on my forearm. and people say you can't play with your fish tanks.

I have 2 PS when I first got them I never saw them, but now they are out all the time ???

Mine hide during the day under the same rock. After the lights go out, however, they start to migrate all over the tank.

:rotflmao: It took awhile for mine to become visible. Then I noticed they came ome out at feeding time. They can get big in a hurry. Unfornatly I lost them in a kill. :angryfire:
