Re: Anyone have success keeping cleaner shrimp with a gsp?
Not cleaner shrimp but I get saltwater acclimated ghost shrimp. If he's bored he will chase them around but they have plenty of hiding spots. General rule of thumb I do not get attached to anything your placing in the tank with your gsp. I have a few hundred dollars worth of coral and various shrimp, snails, and crabs in with mine. I fully expect to wake up to a full loss one day due to puffering. As long as he is happy so am i.

Haha! Same! I put some crab meat in the tank recently and it fell to bits. I was pissed until I realised Oddball was having a great time chasing it around.Welch4 wrote: As long as he is happy so am i.

Personally, I haven't seen either of the peppermint shrimp I put in the tank since about 2 days after they arrived. I suspect a chubby GSP found them. Or they are just really good at hiding. So no, I've had no luck.
