New tank - Need some advice

[coffeetwitch]

Do it. I liked mine. Never saw him much though. Invest in a feeding system. Down side was every time he ate my arm had to get wet.

Something like a long stick or something like that.


Mine ate some of my cuc though.

I have Turkey basters I use. from small to really long...

 

[coffeetwitch]

Would the eel be for you 180 or this 90?

 

[Kio707]

Not sure. I know it could handle either.

 

[Kio707]

Two clams to much for a 90g? They are Derasa clams.

I have a porcupine puffer. I can answer some questions you have on them if you like.

Perfect. Getting a 180g FOWLR with triggers, lionfish, and tangs. How well would it get along with these guys? Are they good fish? How is feeding? Anything important I need to know?

Eel or small lionfish? Getting one today. Just need some help on which one.

 

[Kio707]

Lionfish is 3" and is going in 180g. 180g will be bought after thanksgiving. First thing in the house.

They are awesome fish . At first it was tricky getting him to eat anything but mysis and brine shrimp. Eventually got him eating hikari frozen krill that actually has the whole krill with shell on it. I give mine grocery store clams 3 times a week and occasional emerald crab. I actually have mine with a dwarf lion and they get along great together . The triggers I'm not sure about but I won't risk getting anything that can seriously harm my puffer. They are messy eaters but all puffers are like that. Just be sure to put the food in quick or you risk getting saltwater shot in your eye.

Not the eel. Hard to catch in a set up tank.

 

[Kio707]

Saltwater in the eye? lol

 

[carey]

Puffers spit water when they want food or attention. very neat to watch lol

 

[Kio707]

That's awesome!!!!!!

Lol. I can see it now- you walk by the tank.... Ignore the puffer.... Walk by again and all of a sudden you get water spit in your eye and you hear this little fish voice say "feed me symore!"
