their harlequin shrimp is so tiny, really cute looking. at $15 each... thinking of getting 3 more. :rolleyes:

Hi Coelacanth,

I think you were a little late... cos there are 2 large ones when the srock first arrive....

BTW, Kwang brings Harlequins in regularly... you might be interested in waiting if big specimens are your choice....

:lol:

hahaahhaa.. ya lor.. their fanning very cute... always wonder what are they fanning since i cannot see them.

i manage to feed those i kept last time with some kind of hermit crab pellet.

maybe mine didn't fight each other, maybe they fight with the shrimps or the other kind of crabs.

actually not alot if u know how. quite confusing at first. i enter from the malay village down there...

walk... i think u better print out the map. :P

actually walking from the malay village you won't get lost but it's a longer way.

the shortest way is,

Paya Lebar MRT

Katong Shopping Centre

Lion City Hotel

Haig Road Block 10 until you get to block 2

and down the small road and you are almost there!

i know the place inside out because i live them almost 20 years!

Hi Coelacanth,

How many Harlequins do you have???? :blink:

hi phang,

i got 3 HS altogether, two female. :D

ya, the fanning of the PAC (Procelain Anemone Crab) is actually to catch food, i saw mine netting a big brine shrimp... so they are definitely not full time plankton feeder... only part time. haha... :lol:

PAC are helpful in clearing the slime of the anemone also.

Hi coelacanth!

Nice to koe another Harlequin Shrimp fan! :)

Juz out of interest...how do u differentiate the females? I usually realize that the ones wif the blue legs (beneath its belly) is the female (larger than its partner too) n often carry eggs...

Is there another way of telling it?

:)

hi B|uEc@rpEt,

unfortunately, thats the way i use to ###### them at the LFS too, the one with purplish pleopods are often the female... true indeed, eggs are seen after i introduced the "male" as supposed, as both of them stick together and hunt as a team... and chasing away the other female.

and also, though the female is the larger of the two, but in the LFS, u cannot tell the difference. :lol:

hi B|uEc@rpEt,

i kept my Jellys for just 3 weeks. they are small so not possible to sting the horses, but i dun guarantee the baby horse. really tire me out to keep them, unless u have available sources for plankton, dun keep them. i'm left with the last one.

u can c that they are less active than previously bot, sometimes motionless. like dead. :( very discouraging.

I posted a thread about jellyfish some time back.

I strongly discourage the keeping of jellyfish as we are not able to provide:

1. The kind of specialised jellyfish tank that doesn't damage them ie. free of corners, and has a circulation system that doesn't suck them into the filter.

2. The food that they require ie. plankton and zooplankton.

Drop the demand and they'll stop supplying... let them be in the sea.
