Ghost Shrimp

Anything special for them??? Just Got One

I was under the impression ghost shrimp were either freshwater or used for feeding finicky things like seahorses. Am I thinking of the wrong thing?

ghost shrimp are feeder shrimp, they arent for keeping, i dont even know what they eat

I thought it was when you poop and theres nothing in the toilet. Oh wait nevermind thats the ghost cigar fish. Very common in the trade but i believe they are a brackish water species. Disappearus Fecesius is the scientific name.

I got a ton of them in my fresh tank and they just eat the left over food that falls to the bottom.

I have also never heard of ghost shrimp being kept... Only being used as food for other animals!

Ghost shrimp usually dont last long.Most of the time their either eatten or just dead in a couple of days.

 

[dustin_P74]

are you sure you didnt get a white shrimp since ghost shrimp are fresh water

 

[bobby]

They could be ghost. I have read of some living in salt water. I don't know for how long though. The person said they throw them in their salt tank to be food and that they see them weeks later.

NO This is not the feeder ghost shrimp This is a anemone/commence ghost shrimp clear with white spot and a black and orange tail the pet shop just called it a ghost shrimp i don't know if that is official or anything I try and find a picture

thats crazy never seen one of them

 

[Marine88]

Yes it is pretty cool he has just Been sitting in my anemone :^:

 

[Bifferwine]

I've never seen one for sale either, so that's a great addition to your tank. I'd assume he's like most other shrimp, and will appreciate a little bit of meaty food from your feeding tongs now and then.

 

[dustin_P74]

yeah, they are just like all other shrimp, they will eat food that falls down and into their grasps

 

[Marine88]

Okay that great he been eating and he is fine so that is:^: great
