I would like to know because I have ordered two and they will arrive soon. If you can, I would like specific product name, so I can buy it at my LFS. I also want to know if they eat flake food or algae waffers. Can you help me out?

Ideally, they should be fed small, suspended foods. I feed mine finely powedered flakes and FD bloodworms. Sometimes I add some Liquifry. I imagine Golden Pearls would be a hit.

Does anyone manage to breed them ?
How do we distinguish between a male and a female ?
Where can I get more information ? I thought of breeding them.

I also heard that Kent Marine Micro-vert (liquid invert. food) can be added to a freshwater tank for the filter shrimp to eat. I picked some up for my 2 Singapore shrimp and although it says 1-3 drops per gallon, I only added 10 drops to my 20 gal. and my water became a bit foggy
Anyone else use this stuff?

I considered using it, but couldn't see the advantage.
