I heard that if you get a bunch they will breed in your tank too if there ain't a predator in the tank.

You will love it.
I have a 60G cube in the frag room with a pair of Gold Nuggets clowns, they jump around from one inferno to the other.
Also have lots of rare softie and a few LPS in there?
Since a week I have 8 of these dancing wiggling sexy shrimp in there.
Pretty much now that they come out from the rocks they complete the tank.
Will upload some pics over the weekend.

The cycle is over and we are ready for sexy shrimp it will actually still be a while because I will order them from work. I decided for now to stick with the stock lighting, so I replaced the bulbs. I am going to play a game and see how little I can actually spend and still have a nice tank. So far $16 for the bulbs. Buuuut the moons both died and the fan is sounded like it needs replacing as well. I also dislike my "powerhead" but even my smallest wavemaker (256 gph) was way too much. But I had it laying around so it works for now. I also think I will replace the pump so I can do away with the powerhead at some point. Next on my to do list is build a stand that also will second as an end table so I can get it off my kitchen counter lol. I did find the perfect end table on Craigslist, but the jerk won't respond to my emails lol. So for now, here's a pic of my empty tank. Don't make fun of my temporary rock lol.

Oh my. Maybe it was just a friendly, innocent gathering haha. It will probably be at least another month before we do another fish order, probably 2 actually. We don't sell many fish at my store obviously haha. Probably because we tell everyone no because they have no idea what a cycle even is lol. Our location doesn't even have saltwater anymore because it was only me and one other girl buying anything anyway the point is I'll be waiting awhile yet for my shrimpies my hubby actually complemented my rocks tonight which is a big deal because that means he looked at the tank haha. He seemed disappointed because I told him they weren't staying there. He said he prefers the white look and doesn't like that the rocks in my cube are purple hahaha. He also complemented me by saying "I make rocks look good", I think he likes my 'scapes lol

Those shrimp are awesome! I've never seen those before. Any idea what they were?

 

[Kershaw]

No but if you remind me I'll call store and ask

 

[Kershaw]

Just shoot me a pm tomorrow and I'll post in here what they are

 

[ReefQueen]

I actually found them I think. The blue one is a type of anemone shrimp, a Venus I believe, and the other is a yellow line shrimp. They are so tiny, no wonder I've never seen them before lol. Thanks for the offer I would have forgotten tomorrow anyway. I work in the morning and will be going to see Coheed right after. I doubt I will be home by 1 am lol.

The crab looks pretty amazing too. They where all in the tank together

Yeah they are definitely cool. But with the stock lighting I couldn't have nems, and they would be much happier if one was around I am thinking of doing some rock nems though. But I am not sure if the crabs and shrimp would host a rock nem.
