Vampire shrimps?

[yhbae]

Today, I saw some of these guys in my LFS. They are about 1-1.5 inches but very expensive! $13CA each. Also, they looked seriously spooky in that black substrate. lol.

Does anyone have any experience with these guys? How hard is it to care for them, and how about breeding?

a pic would help, or a description, ive never heard of them

Hmm, I thought these guys were mostly brackish to freshwater, but apparently they do fine (if not better) in full strength seawater. In any case, they do fine as long as they are fed well enough. Most invert foods and even ground flake food seems to work.

Saw them on aquabid too, very expensive but cool looking.

Yeah these guys give you the impression that they are carrying two candles and features those vampire looking teeth... lol. When I saw them in a tank with black substrate and somewhat dark light, it looked spooky.
