sexy shrimp are great. They do best in groups of 3 or more.

will shrimp eat algea or only meat type food?
Also, my LFS sells fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp for $20 each.
That seems like way too much, or is that a good deal?

That's a pretty good deal... fire shrimp at my LFS are close to $50 usually.

They eat meaty foods, not algae. My LFSs sell cleaners for $30 and fire shrimp for $50.

wow! $50?
That makes me feel better about spending $20 on a shrimp.
