    Phospsate question

    Question about hrliquin shrimp

    Hey all. I have a 125 and the other night I was watching and I counted atleast 25 astereana stars. I've wanted a harliquin but their feeding requirerments have kept me from getting one. If I got one would they find all these stars or not, & how long before they would be gone.
