This Camel Shrimp took me by surprise with it's color and size. It is still a small creature, but he sure does work hard to keep everything clean. <br><br>Every tank should have bottom feeders or "cleaners" to keep their tank in check. They need live rock to survive and hide in just like in their natural habitat so be sure you have those. Other than that these shrimp are pretty easy to care for.){kind=link}

The owner said they were "tester" fish and if I could keep these alive for a little more than two weeks then my tank would be safe for all the more expensive, and exotic fish I actually wanted. <br><br>I trusted his advice and low and behold two weeks later, all 10 were still alive. I feel bad calling the Blue Damselfish a "tester" fish, but I guess they are. They are easy to feed and care for. I don't recommend buying only a few of these. Buy a whole bunch because they like to be social and travel in a group.<br><br>They are pretty, but can blend into the water since they have that blue/silver camouflage going for them. Watch and make sure that ALL have them survived. Crabs like to eat their dead bodies. It's okay to let them, since it;s the natural order of things.){kind=link}
. This is actually one of the two fish that really interacted with me, because you don't expect a fish to register human interaction. Whenever I walked by, my Betta fish would swim up and follow me. It was very amusing.<br><br>These fish live forever and are SUPER easy to care for and feed. If you want to have more than one fish in your tank, then move along. Betta fish are very aggressive, territorial, and like solitude. They will attack anything that gets in their way.){kind=link}
