oops need pic

i just noticed tonight this patch of stuff here i dont think it was there this morning when i fed..

so a while ago i posted a pick of a baby starfish that i had as a hitch hiker while my tank was cycling. its been id'd as a sand sifting star possibly. well after that first sighting he disapeared never to be seen again, i figured it was because he was in the sand somewhere. well after 2 weeks i...

i doubt you would need real super strong lighting to keep the pom poms alive and i say this because the pom pom crabs hides out in the rocks and shadows like 90% of the time or more. i do have an hqi light but i doubt it has any effect on the pom poms

they are in a 28g nanocube hqi right now so far its just 20 lbs sand, 35lbs rock with and the stock so far is 2 black and white clowns 1 diamond goby 2 emerald crabs 1 pom pom crab 6 astrea snails 2 turbo snail 5 nassarius snails 4 scarlet hermits 1 fire shrimp 1 cleaner shrimp the clowns and...

ohh forgot to add that the fish guy asked if i wanted him to put a couple drops of some solution in the bag he put them in, i asked him what it did and if it had copper in it, i forgot the name of it now but he said it was to help prevent/kill some bacteria that might be harmful to them. i said...

thx for the info crypt, the fish guy told me about that disease, said its common among clowns, and that it will look like some sort of slimy coating but i will definalty look in the disease thread. and yes this is my first pair of clownfish, i also have a diamond goby i added last night also a...

here is a pic of them after i added them into the tank. looks like they got some specks on them but its really mysis shrimp i put some in before taking the photos. they both appeared to take a couple bites of it as it floated past them but they didnt give chase. i dont think they want to leave...

i just droped them in my tank and it seems that its a workout for them to swim, should i try and defuse my current somehow or just leave em be. i read somehwere that a couple people lost some clowns due to possible exhaustion. since they are real small it might be a strong current for them

yep picked up a sheet of the frozen mysis with the fish once i put them in the tank ill prolly drop in some mysis a few minutes after, the guy in the sotre fed them while i was there, he used some of the dead pods i guess that came from a plastic container from the fridge. the male only took a...

id say they are both under an inch like 3/4 inch, im dripping them now in a bucket

welp i went to another fish store today and saw these little black and white clowns. so i went ahead and picked them up. here is a pic they are floating in the tank. ill try to get better pics later.

hes been in my tank for about a week now the first couple days i never saw him but now he seems to come out a little bit each day so i snapped a shot incase he goes into hiding again lol

im prolly not gonna get any more hermits the 4 scarlet ones i got will do i might add one more to make 5. i didnt want hermits to begin with but wanted somehtign that might go through some sand a little. last night i added my first fish a diamond goby and that thing is a sand sifting pro.

wouldnt hurt to try other things like mysis or mayby even your own creation with a variety of things in it. find out all the different things they like to eat and try a couple.

thx guys, well hes hiding out now i think i know where he is but i cant see him, so far he hasnt kicked any sand around yet just sifting. i think my next choice will be a clown fish mayby 2 i havent decided on if i want a black and white and a true perc or just 2 of the same of either of those.

cool thx for the reply, i definalty want to get juvenile fish for me personally i want to be able to watch them grow and change, so my moto is the smaller the better to an extent. my only fear is that if i get them to small my cleaner shrimp or somethign might try to clean the little fish or...

well here he is after i floated him for about an hour and drip aclimated him for like an hour and a half to two hours. after i put him in he stayed put for like 2 minutes and then he got right to work sifting through the sand, and hasnt stopped yet. pretty nifty little thing, now just gotta...
