i want to buy a small potters angel to put in quarantine for about a month.
but lately i have noticed about 5-6 empty hermit shells in my tank. i have many more that are still alive.
my cleaner shrimp and snails are also doing good.
there is also a bunch of what looks like baby nass snails
i tested the water and the results:
amm 0, trite 0 and trate 5-10.
so am i ok to QT the potters in this tank?

potter angels are hard to get to start eating. you have to maintain there greens and have a varied diet. can't just feed brine and think everything is ok. many many people say don't get one. will this be your first angel? i would try something else less risky

if you do not have this fish i would STRONGLY suggest against keeping one. There are no known ways tokeep a potter's alive in a home tank. People have kept htem alive for about a year then suddenly they die. they supposdely need TONS of rock and even that doesn't help.
if you haven't picked up the fish, PLEASE get something else. if you buy it, it will show the LFS there is a demand for them and they will just buy more, subjecting more potters to die.
