I have sort of lost the passion for the hobby, not because it got boring but simply bc i didnt have time for it.
I have enjoyed my tank and learning about this tank immencly.
I have just reread my own diary and got a huge sadisfaction, one was all the memorys that came rushing back and how i enjoyed everything about my tank.
i also learned i didnt add enough pics lmao even if they were crappy ones, thanx for everyone reminding me on that
I will start my tank anew and after everything i learned i hope it will be better then before
even thought i loved it immencely.
Basically its been monthz since my last update and i have been slacking on my tank so the whole glass got covered with corraline algae and i didnt take care of it like i used too.
I have given away alot of the critters that i could some just naturally died or disapeared and that mystery will never be solved lol.
i will list as best as possible what happen to the critters in my tank. Also will add comments to show what i learned by having them.
k here goes first off some coral i was able to give away but i kept most of it and some just failed from the beginning or when i didnt keep my tank in perfect condition.
Black sun coral~ was giving away only had 2 heads that turned into 3 but i got lazy and it was hard to feed when u have it located in a hard to reach spot.
the rest of the coral that failed just died or slowly melted from when i got them so i dont take those into account right now.
Getting to the inverts i have to say they were a blast to have and observe and i will be having more in the future.
Porcelain crabs i owned 4 and are very sensitive to water changes so watch that ur water is great and stable. i actually owend 2 up intill recently when one died and another one died when i was redoing my whole tank i tried my best. they are fantastic and so peaceful that i recommend anyone to get them.
Pom Pom crabs, i actually owned 5 (plz reread my diary if u want more info) they are great one naturally died/disapeared was the smallest of them. 2 i actually gave away to a friend and i kept 2 of the biggest which is a true pair and they have been constantly breeding for me. they are a little aggressive to each other only if they have to compete for space/food so as long as u take care of there needs they r fine and mine actually come right up to my hand to recieve food so they are easy to spot out and about all day.
Emperor shrimps, omg i loved this pair, i kept them for a long time and a couple of months ago i was slacking on feeding and one of them decided to check the back of the tank most likely looking for food well he disapear on me, for all i know he could of went into the filter chamber or something. the other one i gave away recently also to someone with a pico and i report hes doing fine=P. the reason i gave him away is bc he started exploring the tank more and hosting the front less and i didnt want something to happen to him.
bumble bee shrimp i had one in my tank and even thought i had it for a couple of month i wouldnt get it unless for a pico just bc it was tiny and when i mean tiny i mean supper tiny trust me.
sexy shrimp all i can say is what great shrimp so easy to own. i still have my pair and they are great, they host a couple of corals in my tank and i would recommend anyone even people with big big tanks to get them bc they dont hid to much and are active.
k as fare as every other shrimp i owned, they are great as long as u keep there needs in mind.
Crabs and hermits and snails are all easy to own as long as u do some research just so u know the right species to get.
As far as fish i kept them small so my inverts where safe. i owned many like my mandarin(loved her) that is in a big tank and happy hope she is well. i have alot to say on the subject but just ask me if u want more info.
other fish did well and some i just kept for a little while.
i had some badluck a couple of months ago with a ferry wrasse ,coral beauty and a blenny, where i got a parrasite from one of them and long story short i lost all 3 even though i tryed to save them with freshwater dips but it was to late, ironically i also had/have a firefish at the time and even doh it was infested with the parasite but to hard for my to catch so i thought it was a goner but its still alive and happy in my tank and i believe still has some of the parasite.
k im definitely sure i missed some but if u wana know wat happen to them just ask
also that big blue worm i had prob is gone even doh he lived along time in my tank just havnt seen him in monthz.
i have alot of info in my diary so feel free to look back before asking obviously simple question, other then that ask away and i will answer.
