I thought peppermint shrimp were a saltwater variety.

Heya everyone!
Yesterday I happened across some peppermint shrimp here at my LFS in
Brisbane, and was wondering if anyone has any information on their
natural
history or any experience with them? I tried looking on the web, but
to no
avail. The guy told me they are Australian natives. They look well
equipped
for detrius and algea scrubbing duties with their four feathery claws.
3 of
them are now happily processing my tank (really fascinating to watch
their
feeding arms, almost like a assembly line full of robotic arms)
Cheers,
