Thanks for the info Tomm10, I'll keep that in mind, perhaps I need to find a bit of marine I, shouldn't be hard in this building.
Captain, I have been told that Amano shrimp are better and my lfs does carry them. But at 2 for $10, I wasn't worried enough about the tiny bit of algea that was growing window side to fork out $20-$30 for something that I had no experience keeping and figured would ultimately become fish food anyway. Although, those little guys are phenomenal hiders.
They are fun to watch though...
