Pictures of happy new corals
Whats your stock at the moment? And wheres your live rock from?
Right now I have
- a zoa colony
- Anthelia frag
- green star polyps
- rhodactis mushroom
- pink pulsing xenia
- a green clown goby
- one *small* turbo snail
- TWO peppermint shrimp (see my next post for details)
- a hitchhiker brittle star
- some various small hitchhiker a (bristle worm, collonistas, etc.)
I really dont like the thought of peppermint shrimp in such a small tank, their known for eating coral and i had one take out a whole colony of 40 heads of eagle eye zoanthis! Hopefully for you and your wallets sake they dont get an appetite for coral!
Hi guys,
I have a problem. My dad very thoughtfully bought me a German peppermint shrimp, but I'm not sure what to do. He didn't understand about the possibility of overstocking, and now the little guy is in my tank. My other shrimp, about the same size, is totally cool with him so far.
What should I do? I don't want my fish to be stressed, or increase the bio load too much, or create stress for anyone. Will the extra shrimp be ok? Thanks for any advice!
Also dingus unless you plan on getting a powerhead (probably will take up the whole tank lol) or upgrading your filter (my penguin 100 works great and produces LOTS of flow) than i would stay with softies and not head towards lps, you will need some decent flow for most.
*my bad the new guy is a skunk cleaner shrimp my dad said it was a Peppermint shrimp and I started accidentally calling him a peppermint
Lol dont worrie shrimp have such small bio-load you should be fine.
that's a relief. Thanks! still though, will they stress out my fosh too much? Wouldn't want him jumping out
