Invasion of the giant.. what?

[Frostpaw]

it currently lives with 2 or 3 japonica and nothing else...

[Frostpaw]

upon a few more website visits, your right it does appear to a male red claw macro species.

Now.. if i put more shirmp in.. is it going to eat them all? or will he be ok?

[Frostpaw]

it seems very hard to get information on this species;

So far it says they will pick off small fish, burry in gravel, and may be agressive to other shrimp.

Apparently it will grow to around 9 cms

Apparently it needs a minimum of 60cm x 30cm tank.

SO i have a 30cm x 30cm and want a tank full of various species... It looks like .... like... i have to move or get rid... im actually really attached to him now.. *cries*

I would have thought it would be fine in a 30cube to be fair, put in some rocks and plants to give it a climbing frame, so to speak, and watch it grow.

Been giving serious thought to some macros for a while now.

i saved my crayfish from a flush, the wife hated it and wanted rid. within 2 days she became a bigger fan of his than i have, and yeah, he very quickly got his own home. they grow on you, tings like this, because they look so alien, and you can see the detail in ways you just cant on normal little shrimp, lol.
