[Fluff]

Under the right conditions, they spread like weeds.

ok kool thanks my scooter blenny reallly loves to swim through it it likes it a lot do shrimp do okay with them because i did i a little research and i might go get a some kind of shrimp this week either a fire or a peppermint or a cleaner havnt decided any suggestions?

 

[pat8you]

fire, peppermint, and cleaners are all reef safe shrimp. Just watch out for camel shrimp. they look similar to peppermints and will eat your corals. Just look up some pictures so you know the difference before you buy. The camel shrimp will have a hump on the back as the name implies. You might want to give your tank a little time to settle down since you have been adding stuff recently.

(i just found my camera now) sorry for the confusion but THANK YOU everyone for the great advice

yep im definetly getten a fire shrimp on wednesday im reallly excited!!!!




oh ya in your guyses areas how much do the fire shrimp go for im just curious to see the price comparison

 

[pat8you]

Not sure how much they cost but make sure you acclimate it for a long time. Inverts are usually a little more touchy about changes in salinity. Do you know how to do the drip acclimation method?

 

[panza]

no i dont know the "drip aclimation" can u explain?

 

[pat8you]

Step by step article : )

 

[panza]

thanks do you use this acclimation like does it work pretty well


cause what i normally do is just put a coup of water from the tank every 20 minutes for 2 hours

 

[pat8you]

That will work as well. Most people like the drip method a bit better because you can just set it up and leave it for a couple hours and it is a bit more gradual. As long as you take your time the shrimp will be fine either way though.
