they grow to about 5 inches long and act just like any other lion. u can feed them silver sides, krill, mysis shrimp; krill would be the best. anything they can't fit inside their mouth they won't attack.good fish they can happilly live in a 20 gallon but i would put it in atleast a 29.

it might be a barnicle stuck to it on some coaline algea

does anyone keep a swiss guard basslet? i'm just curious as to how they act in a tank with cleaner shrinp and emerald crabs. and if i can keep a royall gramma if the swissguard basslet will eat my crabs and shrimp. or are their behaviors identical.

it depends on the size of your tank. with 4' to work with u can house like 3 or 4 pair depending on your aquascape. they take a territory of about a square foot, the gbies are the ones you need to look out for. for instance you would need to get a differeent goby species for each shrimp the...

they are very shy but once they get used to their enviroment they will come out and hover in the water column.

it's a hi-fin goby but he only jumps when i turn the light off and he is not in his burrow.

majority of the time yes but it depends on the fish and shrimp; species, where the fish is from where the shrimp is from and if they are potentialy solitary or not.

how big i said hermit cuz if it's big enough to eat them then they are hiding from it or another fish in the tank that may pose a threat.

Does anyone else have a goby that likes to try to jump out at night?

does anyone use halogines for their reef tank? i'm looking into lighting now and would like to know if halogines are ok good or great for a reef. halides are very expensive and i don't see the point in getting one for a 20 if i have alternatives. i was thinking like hanging them about 6 inches...

wow your fire shrimp are cheap where you are! mine was 35-50 after tax and skunks are like 20-30 (depending on size). if money is the issue go with the skunks you would save alot of money. i got a fire shrimp because my tank needed red in it, but fire's are alot less active then skunks so if u...

the fire shrimp clean even less then the skunk. the fire shrimp are alot prettier though, how big is your tank? if it's like 30 gallons and up with equal or more lr you could get both.

it's possible they molted and when a hermit molts it leaves the shel and comes bck to it later. more likely the other 2 killed the rest wait about a day or 2 if u still only see 2 then get more.

get prime and do a 50% water change once a week for 3 weeks, it will starve your bacteria a little but they will grow back. also get a container of biozyme and put that in you'r filter, if u have bioballs put it on them. go to you'r lfs and get the carbon and ceramic bioballs it will help get...

dartfish will go fine in there, blennies also. hum... cardinals in a small school.

that's actualy part of my dream house i would keep every fish i could in there not to many sharks but maybe a tiger and hammer head. yes a dolphin too i guess but i'm more into the whole giant reef thing, and maybe the worlds largest volitan lion.

i agree with what jcrim said, if u have a quarantine tank put it in there and i would also buy like a cleaner shrimp or several neon gobies or if you have a large agressive tank a cleaner wrasse.

i hope so he was hiding most of today but i put algea sheets and stuff near the his lr cave. he is in a 20 gallon with my only other fish a hi-fin goby. soon to get like a courtjester goby or a purple firefish. ( or best suggestion, anything that gets to about 3 inches max)

Just added a fire shrimp and a tail spot blenny from my lfs. my fire shrimp is very active during the day i thought this was strange because i've heard they are nocternal but what ever now i see him more. the blenny though is very timid he is having a hard time acclimating i don't know y my tank...
