Anyone else just love shrimp in your auqarium?

I have a pair of coral banded shrimp and I love them! Personality is awesome and they make me laugh at feeding time, nothing is funnier than watching a shrimp climb glass to try and beat the fish to the food

I love my fire shrimp. I've had him for 2+ years and see him all the time. He refuses to hide and ive trained him to eat from my hand. where he is in the pic is his favorite spot XD

They don't bite but when they pluck the hair off your arms it can be a bit of shock.

Also if you have a cut or scrape it will pull or pinch when they clean it out.

Personally what I found to work for me and from what I've seen on threads here, for others, is to give the shrimp a bit of its own food, like a piece of shrimp, and then feed everything else. It keeps the shrimp distracted and also feeds it and allows u to feed whatever needs to be fed

My CBS was super shy for a while, but has started to be more friendly. My Peppermint shrimp has been with me from the beginning and is a hilarious spaz. I really like both my shrimp a lot. I keep FW shrimp too. Shrimp are just kind of great.
