Harlequin Shrimp Diet

[Kbra]

I had a Harlequin for about a year till one day he looked all beat up and then disapeared. I used to feed it Chocolate Chip Starfish once a month or so but ive notice a boom in those tiny starfish with the grey and white strips.

Will the Harlequin eat those?

 

[Breakin Newz]

Yes, he will eat the asterina starfish..

 

[Kbra]

Thats one person that agrees

 

[roscoe]

Ye rhey will eat the asterina stars. I have 4 HS in my 270.

 

[CookieJar]

Yes, they will eat those, but they will deplete them, even 1 or 2 harlequins will wipe out 99% of the population in relatively short time, then you're back to feeding CC starfish so they don't starve.

 

[nayrgaijin]

Yes they will.

Breakin Newz is a smart guy I would listen :)

Will the fifth one convince you

 

[litenyaup]

[Kbra]
