Yf Can Taste The Salt..

Not sure if anyone answered your question about shrimps:

I have got scarlet shrimps, they tend to hide more and not tramp all over your corals but the normal cleaner shrimps are out all the time but are a pain on the corals - I also have two peppermints, again they only come out to be fed and they eat the little aiptaisia

seffie x



Have decided that will have to take the lid off the tank - If I can remember how and empty out the sand ( I take it you do want the sand?)- that way the men might be able to lift it over the side of the car and get it in - it's just too heavy with the sand and lid, just got to measure the back seat now

I think I will get 2 peppermint shrimp then?

Editt: Could I get 1 scarlet and 1 peppermint?

It certainly is turning in to that but we will get it done

I would get, two peppermint, they tend to eat aiptaisia if there is a least two of them and one scarlet - I did have two but I think one killed the other

hi YF how big is your tank? If you mentioned it i missed it and now can't find it.

It depends on your requirements. In our nano (94L) we initially put 4 blue leg hermits, 4 red leg, 2 halloween hermits, 8 small/ medium turbo snails and 8 nassarius snails, but there was a huge algae bloom now we have 3 blue legs, 2 halloweens, 2 turbo snails (plus a few slug snails which appeared from nowhere.) In my SH tank all i had was a complement of snails, algae eating and detritus (can't remember numbers but is in my thread)

not much help i'm afraid but some i hope.

I would Start with
3 astrea snails
6 nassarius snails
6 cerith snails
4 blue legged hermits (don't forget extra shells)

Then add more if necessary.

 

[youngfisher]

My list so far, all I need to add is corals:

- Citrinis Clown Goby // Gobiodon citrinus.
- Royal Dottyback // Bicolor Pseudochromis
- Firefish // Nemateleotris magnifica
- Black And White Clown Fish // Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish
- Orange And White Clown Fish //Amphiprion percula
- 2 Peppermint Shrimp
- 1 Scarlet Shrimp
- 3 astrea snails
- 6 nassarius snails
- 6 cerith snails
- 4 red legged hermits

Soon I will put these all in order (Sad I know)
