10 Gallon FOWLR Stocking Options?

[Bettababe1011]

I'll look into those shrimp. And I was planning on getting some snails. Hermits... I'm not sure I want them in this tank. I'm planning on having them in my 55 gallon when I set that up though.

And of course you're welcome!

Oh my gosh, this helfrichis are amazing! Too bad they're so expensive... Maybe I can really get a lot of money for my birthday this year...

I know I've always wanted one! But I am totally broke after spending ALL my allowance on my new 30 gallon freshwater tank

I wish they weren't so expensive. If they weren't, I would have gotten one a long time ago.

What corals do you plan on adding to your 10 gal?

I know about expensive fish. My lobster has cost me $200+ I fish he's killed. He's killed a $100 stingray and a $60 naso tang, plus a $10 wrasse and a ton of inverts. Love him but I hate him!

I'm not sure on corals yet. I've been looking a little bit. I want some mushrooms, and I'm trying to decide if I want some polyps, or if they would end up being more of a problem than I want to deal with... lol

 

[Bettababe1011]

Wow, he's caused a lot of problems, but he's such a beautiful animal! Whenever I think of lobsters, though, Larry the Lobster comes to mind... XD

I only have a fowlr, so I'm not an expert on corals. But I know that mushrooms make good beginner corals. I also hear that green star polyps make good beginner corals. Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums has a list of beginner corals in the marine coral section.

By the way, beautiful lobster, crister13! Too bad it's sent all that money down the drain.

 

[crister13]

Ik. Thank god I have fish that can deal with him. Here's some pics!!!

 

[Bettababe1011]

I've been looking at live aquaria. I kind of have a bit of an idea of what I want, but it'll probably change at least five times before I decide on what corals to get.

 

[Bettababe1011]

I want your tank...

 

[crister13]

Mine? No you don't. Nitrates are off the charts. I'm having an all out war with water quality!!! And my eel did this!

 

[Bettafanatic]

What I would do for a beautiful saltwater reef like that. Luckily, my mom promised me I can upgrade if I can keep the fish alive for a year!

 

[Bettababe1011]

Hmm... Well, I want your tank minus the nitrates and injuries.

Nice! My mom told me that my tanks stress her out... Um... How???

Lucky for me, my mom adores fish, so whenever I ask her for a tank, she literally says "Go for it!" I don't understand how tanks stress people out. If anything, mine help me relax and cheer me up. Once when I was having a bad day, when I stuck my hand in the tank to arrange some seashells, my shrimp tried to clean my hand! I had a bounce in my step for the rest of the day lol ^__^

 

[Bettababe1011]

Yeah, my tanks relieve stress for me. Which I have way too much of in my life... :/

 

[crister13]

My tanks stress my mom out too. Lol. Icahn kinda see it tho since I have a 150 on the second floor. It's a lot of weight. And money. Hehe.

I'd just be nervous whenever I'm on the ground floor below the room with that tank in it lol

 

[crister13]

Hahaha ya. Hopefully that would NEVER happen. Plus I have a 55 gallon sump, and a 20 gallon tank like 8 feet away from the 150 connected on the same filtration. Post pics of your tank!!!

 

[crister13]

Oh I forgot the full tank shot!
