[JLAudio]

thats what they eat

 

[chazertis]

they're delicious

 

[al0ha]

yes they are, tag team style

 

[grknyer]

are they eating the starfish

That's all they eat.They have very expensive taste:biglaugh:

 

[rookie07]

They only need to be fed about once per month, maybe twice per month at most....thats $8-$18 per month....I dont think that is expensive

 

[ZANYMASTER]

It kind of bothers me that people feed them starfish,in the wild,they might have to but in captivity,they don't have to.As beautiful as they are,I would never buy one.My wife would be so mad if she saw me feeding starfish to those shrimp:lol:

 

[marki24]

Will these guys eat any starfish that is in your tank?

2 shrimps a month at 18 bucks equals out to 216$ a year.Personally I'd rather spend that on a nice hard to find coral.The worst part is finding a starfish when you need it in a pinch.If one LFS store doesn't have one you have to treck all over looking for one which will costs you in time and gas.I had one before I turned the tank into a reef and speak from experience.Just my opinion.To each is own I guess.We are all adults here and are capable of our own decisions.They are beautiful and wish you the best of luck.

216?? its about 10 bucks a starfish, so 12 x 10 is 120 + 46 ( at 23 dollars a shrimp)= 166 a year

I came up with 216$ because I forget who it was said feefer starfish cost between 8$-18$ each.Two harleys ,each eat a starfish each a month at let's say 9$.Two starfish comes to 18$.month now do that each month for a year
216$.1O$ a starfish just jacked up the price.I had one Harley and he devoured a starfish in no time imagine having two.
Mine was so hungry with just one a month that it used to go after my serpent sea stars.

 

[rbtwo4]

kind of dum i think. thats like if they only eat clown fish would u go out there & spend $$$ on clownfish just to feed those things???

 

[rbtwo4]

i see ur selling a CBS now cus he was chomping away on ur harley. now u said expensive meal and i gotta laugh at that cus what if that CBS only ate harleys then what???

 

[al0ha]

then i just wouldnt buy a cbs, i like the harlys coz they look different from all the other shrimps

 

[al0ha]

and btw rbtwo4 lay off me, theres alot of people on this forum who have harlequins. u dont have to post the same comment twice on both my threads , thanks.

 

[rbtwo4]

Its my OWN OPINION & I'm entitled to one. I just don't see the sense of it. Had u done ur homework u would've known that the CBS was gonna do that. Good luck

 

[al0ha]

i asked steve from wonderful world of fish as well as other sources and they found it strange the cbs ate the harly too so find someone else to bother

i sense mockery in ur OPINION, thats y i am getting rather annoyed that u are picking on me and not others with harlequin shrimps.

To be fair, I think chocolate chip starfish should be est. at, the most, $7. Well informed members here would not buy a chocolate chip higher than this price because they can find a place somewhere in Queens(I don't want to name it) selling well below this price. So the new formula should be
(12 x 7 = 84 )+ 46 = 130 a year, assuming your shrimps do not go missing
:tongue1:

BTW who wanna buy the starfish at $10 call me my number is ...... :tongue1::tongueani

 

[Toeknee]

Def plan on getting one of those soon awesome shrimp
