WOW what a fantastic looking shrimp, how big does it get ?

I want Iw ant I want I want ............ No Just Keep Saying No Mike

They stay small. I think they are ace! I love the way they hover in the water. I have a few and some have eggs but dont hold up any hope. I get these shrimps quite regularly. Very delicate so a nano tank is best with non aggressive tank mates. Have you seen it clean any fish yet?

H Ray. Thats one cool shrimp m8 have you just got the 1 or have you a pair, lovely colour as well. :) Eric

[Kev]

Can these be mixed with other shrimps?

[Macca]

As long as they are reef safe and introduced correctly then yes. Personally would watch for the more predator type shrimps like boxers.

that is a funky looking shrimp would love one but i reckon that the fish i plan to get would snap it up

[TerraC]

Not seen it cleaning. my copperband ignores it so i'm happy! I thought if any fish would touch it the CBB would've had a go :D

lovely vivid blues too! :)

[Kev]

CBB, great fish. How long you had this guy?

[TerraC]

Eric:
Just got the one at the mo, i'd like to add another at some point, probably when i've (eventually) moved my tank over to the new system i'm planning.

Kev:
had CBB about 2 years, he's a great fish follows you around like a dog :D eats just about any frozen food but loves mysis.

(just checked the date I got him 18th Sept 2004 from KKC in Hull)

here's a pic, excuse the air bubbles my skimmers barmy at times.
