Yup, before you buy it, you should have check their requirement. You can choose blue or red star fish, but blue is cheaper. Maybe during chinese new year then you buy a red one for them, hehe. But one bad thing about these shrimps is that they sometimes killed the starfish before starting to devour it, which can cause pollution to the water. But if you got a pair of good ones, then they will slowly eat one arm by arm.

thks everyone,

looks like it will be expensive to keep so may not try to get it...

too bad

[imooi2001]

by the way, is there any place to find cheaper starfish for the HARLEQUIN? I stay pasir ris..think normally $5/pc, so for the food will be around $10 a week?

[xersion]

1 starfish they can eat for 1 week.. so its just $5 per week.. which is very cheap le..

it is not really abt money spent on e starfish...but the way they feed...a bit unbearable to see...taking one arm at a time when they are experienced...shounded so ironical.....that's why i give up on these beauty shrimps...rather take on cleaners n fire shrimps... even ane shrimps and bees are dfficult to keep too...

[rockfish]

true lah .. i remember me trying to chop off the arms of the star to feed the shimps.. so that the star live longer.. i feed so inhuman ..

after my pair of harleqiun pass on.. i decided not to keep them again ..

Starfishes are such nice & lovely creatures.

IMO, l think it's very cruel to feed and see the these shrimps eating a helpless starfish an arm than another arm bit by bit and dying a slow painful death. Given a choice out of no choice, i think the starfish wld rather be killed first.

l wld rather keep other shrimps which i think are just as beautiful.
