Yea I see it all the time he was shy at first but now it comes out and climbs on my hand and I even hand fed it today

Neat, our glass shrimp are like that, they aren't easy to get a picture of though (about an inch long and crystal clear) but the peps never leave the interior of the rock work. I mean, I'm happy they're happy, but I did hope they would 'red' up the tank a bit LOL

Yea I was hoping for some more color I will see if I can barter the fish shop down a bit with there prices

Not really. I pay like $25. I'm thinking getting one more for the 200 gallons tank in the basement. The one I have is in a 100 gallons in the dinning room.

How big do they get?

I was told that they will get a little over 12" just the body only. I had him about 3" it been 8 month now and it's about 4" now and molt about 4 time already.He does eat a lot.

This what look like after he molted.

Yea it's pretty rediculous one of my friends want to start breeding them and sell them cheap as so the stores will either have to compete or start buying off him his supply is good right now
