Re: Should I send my Coral Banded Shrimp on a Winter Holiday?

OK Stace, if he eats my coral and no one wants him, he's yours.

Re: Should I send my Coral Banded Shrimp on a Winter Holiday?

I imagine a winter holiday is a trip to the freezer.

Stace, I knew you would jump my case. I veer away from opportunistic feeding inverts. It is much easier than trying to find a fish eater a home. Some things can be easily bannished to a sump, CBS get big and if you want worms in your fuge...and the fuge is in the sump...becomes an issue. Not as easy to sweep under the rug as is your favorite mischief crab. Depending on the issue, I would be none too happy to get a CBS that someone returned to the LFS because it was a fish killer.

Yep, I am a killer for hire AND I also offer my services to those needing injury for workmans' comp claims. LOL Need a vacation? Just let me tag along for Bring Your Favorite Reefer to Work Day.

You want to kill the shrimp that you rescued?

Oh, I respect Stace's compassion. My question is directed at John! As for Becky, I just haven't figured her out!
