Reducing phosphates will help. I also put a lawnmower benny in and he chomped it all in the space of about 2 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Good plan, go for it.

My local aquarium store stocked them... But then again I'm in England matey so not much help. I reckon you could get one off eBay.

Only ever from the clear stick, I tried both plastic and metal tongs without success. Underwater the clear stick is pretty much invisible.

I started mine on live gutloaded feeder shrimp. Then I moved to frozen small baitfish that I skewer with a clear feeding stick. Wiggle it in front of them and they take it every time. It has to be a clear plastic stick though or they ignore it.

Yeah I'll pull the eel out at some point. I've got 2 other spare 75 gallon tanks I could drop him into if need be. I'm running an oversized canister and skimmer plus I do weekly 10 gallon. Water changes. Params are all good, nitrate always a little high but nothing to get to worried about.

My dwarf predator tank... 40 gal Inhabitants: 2 fuzzy dwarf lions Black wartskin angler Yellow head moray eel Feeding them frozen baitfish and gutloaded ghost shrimp.

Hi, I started my dwarf lions on live mysis shrimp and small feeder shrimp. I then gradually weened them onto frozen shrimp and fish using a clear feeding stick and wiggling it round to get them interested. Only a clear stick would work... Any other colour and they wouldn't come near it.

Hi, ghost shrimp are ok but not very nutritious unless you gutload them. I feed my dwarf lions with small frozen sprats that I attach to a clear feeding stick. They were very easy to train to frozen foods when I switched to the clear stick.

I myself am not going to beat u down like some people.... To answer your actual question you can indeed mix shrimp. Fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp, peppermints, sexy shrimp will all be fine together. Stay clear of coral banded and camel shrimp.... Coral banded are mean and camels will pick at your...

They would die sooner or later

They do best in brackish water about 1.016 salinity. I have heard of people slowly acclimitising them to full marine but only for short periods. Aggressive little buggers too.

Asterina starfish, you probably got loads of them... Totally harmless, not sure about mushrooms.... Need to see them open.

At least 9' by 3' with rounded corners to house a 2 foot shark, imo.

I had a sand sifting star and my tiger pistol destroyed it! I would watch it pick it up and snap at its legs... I reckon its your pistol matey.
