Shrimp are scavengers & live in the rockwork, not in nets.

Yes I know they don't live in nets but that is the only place I can keep at the moment as I dis not know I was gonna get one as it came on my rock . I have a new tank cycling and I will put him in it in a few days.

Can you fit a few pieces of rock/rubble into the net for him to feel safe?

They are diggers . I feed mine sinking fish pellets. If you have a spare tank add a watchman gobie with it , a very cool pairing.

has your puffer shown any interest in him being in the net? As he was a freebie i would put it in and wait to see if he does get eaten. Just my thoughts. He may stay well away, you never know
