and just to let you know a loach will help your unwanted snail population

yeah be careful with those snails. they will TAKE OVER your tank haha

yeah i bet id be excited if i had a 80G all together haha. for an 80 gallon id say get 5 raw shrimp to float around. i find this method good and usefully especially if your not looking to have a damsel in your tank. even then, they are about 5 bucks when shrimp are only 1-2 bucks for 5 haha. and...

Yes you should put the live rock in and all. Ive read that if you get raw shrimp from the store(non cooked, non breaded) and put them in, it helps cycle the tank and its better than risking a poor fishes life

They will eat whatever usually. I have one in my 29G community tank. only suggestion is having places for it to hide in. I used one of the knive fish tubes they sell in stores he loves it.

yes, it is possible that they will nibble on the tails, but my guppies get along with my goldfish and tetras just fine

im thinking 2-3 hermits, 3 or 4 snails, 1 starfish, 1 fire shrimp and thinking either a goby or a fairly small fish.

yeah well the question was originally ideas for stocking. i was wondering how many hermits, how many snails, how many shrimp. and such

well that works out well but if your planning on having more males, the females make them more aggressive

so this is my first saltwater tank its a nano-cube 6G this is just the live rock setup till furthur notice

i have 2 plecos. albino longfin bristlenose.

yes you need another filter and heater. with my cichlids ive always used whisper filters and never had a problem just watch the pH of the tank

it is quite possible she is prego. even if she is 1 species of peacock, she can still breed. ive have my OB breed with my eureka once. awesome babies. i breed and what i would do is catch her, put her in a net breeder and after a week or so stick your thumbnail gently in her mouth and...

they dont color up till about 6-8 months. females never color up. you cant tell males and females apart by the upper fin. if its curved its female, pointy is male, but if they are juvi you wont be able to tell

good variety you have going.
