Peppermint or Camel Shrimp?

by **god0fwar** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:59 am

hi guys i've looked for some CUC shrimp, and i bought one in a LFS yesterday, based on what i've researched it's a camel (solid white stripes) shrimp and it is doing well in my 20gal fowlr tank... its all over the place eating any organic stuffs and uneaten fish food...

i am planning to get a peppermint shrimp, alin ba mas ok sa kanila ng camel? pwede ba sila pagsamahin in the same tank?

thanks!

For me PS kasi camel sometimes do something sa coral. Not sure the particulars, but i read an article before.

i used to have a pair or camel shrimps in my tank, they nipped on my elegance and irritated some of the zoas, so tinanggal ko sila.

The PS gets my vote which afaik does not bother any corals.

sir, baka malito mga tao.. CS is used for cleaner shrimp..camel na lang for short yung camel shrimp..
ang problema sa peppermint shrimp ay yung availability and price.. nasa 1k ata yun.. imported kasi.. and it lives for a few years lang.. so, if you have money, ayos lang.. kung gusto mo ng CUC lang, maraming shrimp ang pwede.. CS, camel shrimp, banded shrimp, blood red shrimp at marami pa na nakalimutan ko.. pwede din sally lightfoot na crab.. problem dito, pag may sick fish ka, baka kainin nila..
