lil_mikey69 Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3180 Kudos: 2380 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Jan-2003	This thing is huge(I'd say about 3" , and the color is amazing. He's been at the LFS for 2 or 3 weeks though. I decided to give him a good home. Heres some pictures of him in the bag accimilating. Hopefully I can get some in tank photos later. Fire! Fire Shrimp 2 From Above

More expensive than usual, but it was about double the size of any the other fire shrimp they have. So I figured it was worth the extra $10 for a extra large one. If they cost $250, maybe I'll put it on Ebay Australia

He is more reclusive than my skunk was, but I ain't putting another "snack" in my tank for him, he is viscious. I paid $25 for mine, I think.

There is a peppermint shrimp in there thats he's gotten along with fine as far as I know. I hope he doesn't become a problem. I was wanting to add some cleaner shrimp because they will be a bit more functional as far as actual cleaning goes.
