Aquarium Advice Addict
Thanks mike! What's the average inches on each one? I wanna get an assorment that's nice on the eyes
They are about the size of a golf ball. Also once they are in the tank and if a multi is in the shell never lift the shell out of water because it will get an air pocket and the multi can get stuck in the air pocket and die. I found this out the hard way. After that if i had to move a fish to another tank i would use a cup and transfer the shell under water to the cup. I never figured out a way to catch these guys after they had shells.
Wait so how do you remove the initial air?
Shake and roll under water. You will know when its all out because it wont float or hover above the sand.
Okay see that makes sense. I just dont wanna start by killing fish!
I have an ac20 and an ac50 on my 15 with the flow turned almost all the way down and sponge on both intakes. The 20 is just a seeded filter for my quarantine tank or what ever i need seeded filter for. I dont use any power heads. Nothing stays in one place with these guys for long. I love watching them bulldoze shells around with their nose.
Thanks Freakgecko! Would these shells work? If they are big enough!?
yep as long as they are big enough and it don't hurt to have some smaller ones for fry to hide in when the start swimming around
