they aren't so hard to keep. i got two from ronen months ago and they are doing well. i just feed them a piece of starfish every couple of weeks.
Scarf, i never mentioned that they are hard to keep, just that they have a specialized diet. This is mostly directed to newcomers who might fall in love with them, buy them and then wonder why they perish. All i am saying is to know their needs and you can keep them happy for a very long time.
I wud say a mandarin is hard to keep, cause of its diet as well..unless your lucky and it eats mysis...but by the way Ronen's Mandarin looks i guess steroids wud work just as good.... Dude what was the name of that coral i kept askin u about...it was too cool...oh yeah and the harlequin...NOiiiiicceeee....

pedro i was referring to veronique's comment. btw i love the blue color on your harlequin. i still say they aren't difficiult to keep ronen. if i can keep mine alive then i consider them easy. LOL
LOL jon jon jon ,,what we are tryna to say ,is not everyone should get a harlequin shrimp .Not every one is as dedicated to the hobby as we are .
lets say this ,,,,
They are easy for the more experianced hobbiest ,then a person that is just starting out ,Hows that
Here is my experience with Harlequin,
Once I was doing a night time snorkeling by myself just with a small underwater torch (Kenyan coast), it's very spooky because your vision is very limited and all the predator are on the move (lion fish, moray, stone fish...) hunting.
Anyway under a rock I saw those things, didn't know what it was but getting closer I saw these little wonder, a pair of them.
I took them brought them back to Nairobi in my tank (kept that tank 5 years), it didn't take them long to find my starfish, 3 weeks later my starfish died.
I didn't have an unlimited supply of starfish (13 hours of driving to reach the coast and the only shop in Nairobi didn't have them) so I tryed my harlequin on fish, prawn and squid, off course it didn't work.
So my question is do you have to have a dead starfish to keep these precious thing alive or do you keep many starfish in your tank? and do they survive the attack?
How do you do it?
