Seem to have a bit of bubble algae in there, thought about an emerald crab? I understand they will eat bubble algae although I've not witnessed this first hand.

 

[rhysiboy]

ive thought about them but they are soo bluddy difficult to find in the uk. Ive never seen them in all 4 of my LFS's that i go to . Anyone know of any other solutions other than emeralds?

 

[@ombomb]

I often see them round me, but that's a long journey to buy a crab

Trimar might be able to get you one.

 

[Lynden]

Thats pretty sweet. Do you plan on raising the baby cardinals?

Welcome back Rhsyi

Mnually removing green bubble algae works alot of the time. Ive never had a emerald crab, instead I just pick the bubbles straight out of the tank without a problem, they are quite tough, but dont try squezzing them too hard!

 

[Phoenixfish]

There are one or two sites that are in the Uk that seel them for about £10 (emerald crabs) i think ive still got one or two links,
Coral Gardens but they seem to be out of stock at the moment, ive never had experience from them tho,

Coral 4 you, although the site is a bit crappy, i brought a gold Riccordea Shroom off him on ebay thats Great, it is apparently ment to have a blue skirt but mine hast coloured up. The golds intense and glows under moonlights, he told me his website, so ether ask him through his ebay or use the contact details on website.
pm me for his ebay
Hope it helps

yer lynden when my bangais breed again ive got a breeder trap and ive got some live cultures of artemi in their packets so alls id have to do is just watch out for when the male stops eating, wait about oo i say 14 ish days for um to hatch, bout 10 days for them to develop and then be one 24/7 watch to try and catch the babies before anything else does after that id put um in the breeder and feed twice daily with freshly hatched brine. Who knows what will happen with it but hey its worth a try
