| Excellent Guesser :D   | Re: Mystery Shrimp The shrimp is more likely to be a mysis shrimp than a mantis. Hard to tell at 1mm though for sure. Google stomatella snail and see if that resembles your slug guy.

| Excellent Guesser :D | Re: Mystery Shrimp Oh yeah, definitely food shrimp. They don't get very big and if you have a fish they don't get a chance to grow. If you have a sump and refugium you may get lucky enough to get a self replenishing population and save money on buying them frozen.
