Yes most are predators. I just dont know if they can catch a shrimp or a baby.

Is it possible to mix them? I was thinking of water striders, water boatmen, and back swimmers. What do you think?

When comes down to it, I would'nt mix them.

No I would not. They will attempt to kill each other and the fish. Plus the red crab likes a little salt and access to land.

Good looking female. Congrats!

Great pics and cute shrimp! Good job.

Do you only have two cherries? You should get more. Then the eggs will become fertilized.

Well good job on the eggs. Just feed the pregnant cherry right you will have some bouncin' baby cherries! Congrats and keep us updated.

Can i use it for a pearl shrimp tank?

Ok found it. In the "Shrimps from China" thread mustafa says

That "red tiger" shrimp on the picture is sick and dying. Shrimp get all "milky" colored and white and even change color (for example black does become reddish...) when they are about to die.

Ok then. I was just refering to a thread where the red striped shrimp were about to die. I would show it to you but i cant find it.

When they show the milky white coloration, and the red stripes it normally signals death.

I saw this at a walmart. They were $6.25, and very slow. I have heard they were very peaceful and they are cute. The only visible problem is the huge mouth. So can they catch a shrimp? I was going to keep it with some bigger shrimp, and maybe some dwarf puffers, and mollies, and a knight goby.

The red kind is the dead kind.

Sorry veneer, but thats all the info I had as it died very shrotly before the molt.
