Cameroon Armoured Shrimp

[bomber]

I picked up 2 filter shrimp last week and they colors are pretty neat. One is reddish and the other is blue. These guys are about 3" each. They hanging out near the flow trying to catch food. I over feed my fish on purpose so they can get some floaters their way.

watch for the clown loach it might take a chunk out of the shrimp when it molts, also try putting food into the out let of your filter so they can catch it.
