DC Lagoon Episode 4: Cleaner Shrimp and Fire Shrimp

[@crowndcrusader2341]

I love that you’re buying fish from Petco normally fish from there Are known to having parasite and The workers don’t really do a good job taking care of them and keeping the display tanks clean depending on the one that’s in your area but if you’re careful and have a good eye then you can spot the ones that do or the ones that don’t. But it is always nice to see somebody buying Fish. Because you’re basically saving them and are much better off with you then at a pet store 💯🐠💯

[@InappropriateReefer]

Nice update DC, I also buy quite a bit from my local PetCo...

[@thefrase7884]

I have to agree about Petco.....I’ve always had good luck with saltwater fish / inverts from there. Great vid!

[@oboerista]

Glad to hear your PetCo livestock are thriving! Always wondered, and the one out in Fairfax has good looking (but limited) saltwater critters. Nice meeting you at the WAMAS mtg yesterday.

[@WCorbin182]

Pleasure meeting you also. The PetCo I always go to in a Newer one on New York Ave in Washington, DC. I've been to the one in fairfax on my way to Reef escape lol.

[@hogginstein2425]

Some of the petco that have frag tanks are the best! Only one outta the 5 in my area. didn’t think both of those shrimps go together

[@dudepros]

Love those shrimp, they look awesome!

[@Reefscom]

Nice video bud! Which reminds me, I need to get some blood shrimps as Well!

[@WCorbin182]

Thank you, by far my favorite inverts and they do two jobs. Clean up food on the sand and in my case the water column and cleaning any fish that need it.

[@Reefscom]

yup! I have 5 skunks in my tank. I think I am about to put 4 of the bloods in there as well.

[@thefrase7884]

Do they need fish to thrive? If I was to start a small 20 gallon with just 2 or 3 scarlet cleaners and 2 or 3 fire shrimp would they be ok. I know in my marine tank even though they do clean they are also very active at feeding time. They always go after the frozen food, freeze dried, and even flake. Just wondering how you think they would do by themselves without fish. Thank you.... good vid

[@AcuaTV]

Great addition!

[@1crute]

Looking good bruh! I'm taking notes over here!!! #paws🐾

[@ReeferGil]

Got to love these guys

[@jl6948]

Coming along nicely!

[@WCorbin182]

Thank you

[@b2sreef715]

My local PetCo is awesome. Blows away every LFS near me.

[@chrisr.8995]

which one do you prefer?

[@Fit-HubIO]

Groovy, just subbed!

[@Deon0026yickadee]

Love inverts I have the coral banded shrimp 😎👊🏾

[@youronlycow]

Can i keep 2 fire shrimps together in the same tank?

[@fishysnowman9082]

Love the Shrimp 🦐💥🔥

[@ericbrooks6313]

I agree, I go to a Petco near me and it’s better than most LFS’s around here. My Petco gets a big variety of Saltwater fish and they discount them all the time if the fish are there for a while. I have never lost a fish from this Petco. Definitely not all created equal, sad to say most Petco’s are terrible.

[@142rwright]

You definitely need to get a coral banded shrimp, preferably red!

[@pelphrey]

I’m def stepping my invert game up for 2018!

[@WCorbin182]

pelphrey careful you might get hooked like i did. I have like 12 different inverts in the Lagoon 😫 lol but i love them all

[@SimplyReefing]

How are these shrimps doing

[@cervantesmcervantes]

Petco has great prices!

[@panchovilla884]

Not on corals they ripping heads of and sell low grade corals

[@russellgarcia6920]

My Petco is awesome because I work in aquatics department.

[@WCorbin182]

Hey man which one?

[@russellgarcia6920]

DC Reefer the one in Fredericksburg

[@jenniferxjeffrey]

Do they fight over territory?

[@WCorbin182]

No they don’t

[@yoooofufuuu]

👍

[@westoncase5447]

I was the 1000th view🔥

[@EDKsurly]

maybe get a Peppermint incase you get Aiptasia

[@WCorbin182]

That's a thought. I don't like their look but if its for a job then yes. Spoiler I looked on a frag and it had aiptasia on it smh.

[@tsurro8086]

This is an expensive hobby, petco can be cheaper and better than a local lfs.!!
