boxer shrimp Vs line shrimp

[somebody]

what about other type of shrimps, those see through ones.

can we keep diff ones together?

[Maxstar81]

Boxer is fierce.

Camel eats lots of stuff in tank. (not reef safe IMO)

My glass shrimps and cleaner are non-agressive.

Living well together.

[somebody]

so you saying that glass and cleaner can keep together, but boxer cannot ah? haha.

[FuEl]

Got a few species of boxing shrimp. The smaller species (max size only around 3cm) should be able to be kept with most other shrimp.

[somebody]

hmm... ermm... how to differentiate ah? haha.. =)

The purple boxer should be able to keep with other shrimp... but they are quite shy... so you wun get to see it often... Other boxers quite fierce from what i experience...

[somebody]

purple boxer? sounds pretty exotic. is it expensive?

hmm... i was thinking of the usual type that you see in LFS. those red and white type.

i hv 2 boxing shrimps (pretty big sized), 2 camel shrimps (oso gd sized) , n 2 blood shrimps.... all do pretty well together... only shrimp that always seem to kena attacked by them are the mysis shrimps taht i caught frm sea

My Mr Boxer just killed a cleaner shrimp, found the cleaner shrimp in between its jaws... had to seperate Mr Boxer before it goes for the other cleaner shrimp left in the tank...

[somebody]

[dkk08]

Hey somebody, u can try the purple boxer, they're smaller in size n much more peaceful, a little shy thou... had 1 small one in my previous tank, minded its own biz and was always hiding only appearing when there's food...

[somebody]

hmmm the last time I got it from Wong Loy Kee at Chinatown think it was abt $6 but that was last yr...

[somebody]

[cornyfish]

I bought my common boxer shrimp for $3... if its $6 its overpriced liao. How much is the purple-headed and the green-headed boxer shrimps, does anyone know?

well it is a purple boxer and not the common boxer, and I've only seen it at Wong Loy Kee... so I can't compare the pricing...

[FuEl]

The last time I bought a purple boxer it cost about $8. The yellow headed boxers usually go between $6-8. Then again anything below $10 is reasonable. Pairs usually cost more but are worth it.

Coming back soon..in Dec. You can try pairing boxers if you got the time. The female's carapace is usually around 1.5X wider than the males and generally have a larger build. Easier to identify a female if it has eggs.
