Meet Boris (the wimpy shrimpy) he's cool, he's blue... and unfortunately dead.Yes, Boris was with us only for a very short while, before swimming to that great ocean in the sky. The problem was that Boris wouldn't eat, (well at least part of the problem). Whenever I fed him, either his wafers or brine shrimp, (and yes Boris was a cannibal, ) he would just hide it under a shell in his bowl. This morning I regret to say that Boris passed away.
However, Petco has an excellent return policy, and now Boris II has the fish bowl all to himself. I have added new clarification drops, and spent the day looking up shrimp care on the web. A most helpful post was here "Why are my shrimp dying? by Mustafa Ucozler." This guy is a genius. Who knew the dangers of filling your fish tank with hot tap water... he did. This time, I will be much more prepared on how to keep care of this
swell shrimp.
And if I kill a few more, I'm inviting everyone over for
coconut prawns.
(but he's not a lobster)
