alright. I will do it again this weekend. I have 3 triggers and puffer. I will buy two more. My LFS closes at 9. I will turn out the lights at 8 30. Be home by 9 15. I will acclimate and then put them in. I will let you know come sunday what happens. I need a new camera. I don't see a very shrimp safe turn out. If they get eatin oh well. It was cool as hell to watch them go insane as they fell earlier.
Please update us on the results.

This is better than the Super Bowl; with all its celebrity hype and 10 hours or pre-game chatter, the SB doesn't seem like real football anyhow. Do you know of a bookie who has a line out on the Cleaner Shrimp vs Fish Bowl? If so, better PM me, I don't think Knee-Caps Blackie wants his name all over this forum.

Hopefully Im not out $40 for the week. I have a camera phone. We all know how those are but its better than nothing. I also added a 13 pounds piece of live rock and about 7 more pounds of seperate pieces. My buddy backed out of my eel deal. I set the eel up with a pvc pipe and put the small pieces on top. My eel is tiny. I plan on buying two good sized cleaner shrimp.

Okay. Little upset. I went to my normal LFS. Sold out of Cleaner shrimp. Went to another 2 for $45.00 I will wait till I only have to spend $20 again. Sorry everybody Im not spending $50 on a science project. They are going to call me when they get more shrimp in.

Can't blame you... I wouldn't spend that much just for an experiment either.

That is my 1st thought too.
When you ask the question like this; you're certain to find someone who has done it (at least short term). Somewhere, someone has done about everything in this hobby---but that doesn't make it a good idea. BTW, I read your profile that said you have a volitan in with a bunch of aggressive triggers; was he shredded? BTW, if your lfs gave you the lion/trigger advice and now this gem; I'd sure find a new source asap.
i figure i have done it all yes i have a very large volitan and a bunch of agressive fish i dont plan on having a new source i have a extremely wide variety of fish i dont seem to have much trouble with fighting within the tank
