    Hi,
    I have 2 peppermint shrimps in my 120G have had them for about 6mths. When I puchased my Anem, the shrimp almost immediately went after it. I didn't let them touch the anem. I pulled them out and placed them in my fuge, which has been their home for about 2mths now. My question is, is it safe to re-introduce my pepermints to the DT with my sebae? would it be harmful for the anem? My anem is healthy and eats well. I do not want to harm it... :confused:

    Hmm... 50/50...LOL... I think I am leaning towards saltwaterguy's suggestion. I lucked out when I cought them the first time. I know they are a serious pain to catch...
    Thanks....

    well I've had experience with shrimp... I had a coral banded shrimp and tried to take him out but he would practically hide in every possible crevice in the rockwork and he even pinched me a few times so i just gave up.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I suggest keeping the shrimp in the fuge. I had a terrible time with mine and will never buy another. :angry:
