atxryan Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 How large are your largest? I have a 115 and dont want them to get lost in the rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiLS Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 yeah how big is the largest, will my grouper eat these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barderer Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 largest are about two inches. If you have a lot of good rock work the shrimp may be able to avoid your grouper, but I'd imagine once your grouper reaches a certain size it will eat anything that can fit in its mouth.

barderer Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 update: I have done some intense peppermint shrimp research and identified the species I have as L. wurdemanni e.g. the true peppermint shrimp. They love rock anemones. Most of the time what you get from the pet store is from Florida and they are L. rathbunae. The reason you see these is because they use lobster traps to catch these things, so they can catch 100's of them for cheap. Problem is, while they look like the rock anemone eating variety they rarely express any interest in them. So most of the time what you get from the store is L. rathbunae !!! And you wonder why your rock anemones are still there! So if you want some real deal L. wurdemanni let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barderer Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Depends what kind of pistol. I have found once pistols reach a certain size they will start to attack ALL that ventures in front of their hole. Of course it also depends on what species of pistol.

barderer Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) hmm from what I read he poses no threat, but I would say it still a risk. Edited June 29, 2009 by barderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart032 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 yea, cause he eats shrimp in the wild so id be worried about it. i dont want to take any chances i dont want him getting a taste for live food and endup missing fish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
