Aquarium Advice Regular
Whilst waiting for my tank to settle, I'm thinking about how to start re-stocking. My line of thinking is that I should install an invert cleanup crew first and let them settle in. My LFS regularly has
- Banded coral shrimp (stenopus hispidus)
- Camelback shrimps (rhynchocinetes spp)
- Fire shrimp (lysmata debelius)
- Pacifica scarlet (lysmata amboinensis)
- Snails (pyramid top shells or star shells, I can't tell)
- Blue-leg hermit (clibanarius tricolor)
My tank is 480L (140cmx65cmx65cm), with 40Kg of LR and I'm aiming (at some distant point in the future) for a non-aggresive FOWLR community.
Questions:
1. Any dos/don'ts in the above list?
2. How many of each would be suitable?
3. LFS suggests, later, a single decorated or orange-spotted sleeper goby to stir the sand. Yes/no/something else?
And the most important question:
4. Do inverts need to be quarantined before being introduced into an empty tank?
Thanks in advance for any advice
