Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I purchased a firefish from my local store. The first day I had him he fed very well, and swam about. For the past 3 days he's hid in my LR.
My tank (don't know if it matters)
26 gallon
2 peppermint shrimp
1 red star
bunch of snails and little crabs
alkalinity 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
ph 8.2
SG 1.022
I've had this tank up and running for several years. From what I've read, this isn't an overly skittish fish...I've feeding flakes and very small mysis shrimp... am I rushing this little guy? I moved my LR around and saw his hiding spot, he darts away when I move rock around...I just wanted to make sure he wasn't ten fins up somewhere...
I've read that shrimp need iodine added for propper molting (don't know what that is...) what is a good additive for this?
I've thought about putting in either a nano skimmer that drs foster and smith are advertising and also a submersible uv light...
I'm using purple up to boost my existing coraline
I'm not sure what 2nd (and final) fish I want. I'm debating between a clown (and an anenome) or a coral beauty or a pygmy angel...
Last, but not least...I've never explored coral or anything...but I only have a 24 watt cf 50/50 bulb and no powerhead...what can that support???
I know I'm asking alot, but if anybody can answer...I know you all can!
