    Does it eat only live foods? You could hit up an asian supermarket and get all kinds of seafood for it. Fresh and frozen.

    i would only get my ghost shrimps from city pet. it's dirt cheap and i've been feeding my oscar with it for years without problem.

    i've always think that too much snails in a shrimp tank would deplete the trace calcium in water. my snail tank never get a water change, and after 5 months, you can see all the snail shells gradually turn transparent. this may be bad for the shrimps.

    on other note, when i buy ghost shrimps, i feed them one by one gradually over the course of a week or two. in that time, if any ghost shrimp molt, i pick up the exoskeleton and feed it to my crystals or cherries and they just eat it up as if it was their own.

    Wow bamboo shrimp... Just buy yourself a 2.5 or 5 gal if you don't mind a 10 gal even better.... Then buy some snails and rcs and let them reproduce like crazy... You'll have a nice shrimp tank and food year round

    I call every thursday, when I get off work (5:00/5:30) and I'm told there are 20-30. 30 minutes later when I make it there I maybe get 10. Usually like 5.

    I'd really like to get them some snails. I'll pay for them, so if anybody has a snail infestation lemme know!

    I resorted to fiddler crabs and a bamboo shrimp this week, which wasn't cheap.
