my 29

rescaped a little today.

found some hitchhiker zoanthids on my mushrooms (one of which has 3 mouths now!). theyre brown right now, but they were on the underside of the rock. i twisted it so they would get more light, interested to see if they color up. unfortunately, i also found some aiptasia on that rock.
two of my shrimp are living together an a little hole-in-the-rock apartment on the upper east side.
thats about it. i have $20... i might go pick up a frag of GSP later this week. well maybe not, since everything in my tank is green except the sun & xenia... eh, i dont know yet. idk idk idk

one of my decorator crabs has developed a taste for mushrooms. he wasnt trying to wear it, he was definately eating it.

any more of this and hes going to the LFS. i dont care how cool he is.

 

[paintballer768]

If he could wear it that would be so cool. A decorator crab with ricordeas

just talked to my mom. decorators picked apart & killed my featherduster. she says the shrimp helped, but im thinking it was probably dead or dying by then. when i get home im going to have to figure out a way to separate them (probably stick them in the filter). then theyre takin a ride to the LFS.
dang crabs. theyre eating the shrooms too, and i think possibly the zoas.

 

[hypertek99]

Yep no crabs. Don't trust them anymore. I would get snails and some little hermits. The big hermits will eat stuff.

 

[alix2.0]

thinking about that does anyone know if crabs will eat zoas? i mean since theyre poison?

 

[hypertek99]

Yes they can eat them. The toxins don't really bother the inverts that eats them.

 

[alix2.0]

great. thanks.

 

[hypertek99]

If it looks like something is eating them check for Nudi's and zoa spiders.

 

[alix2.0]

well they look great except for the crab thats always standin in them. eh. figures if i didnt get something that didnt already have something wrong with it, something would take it upon itself to fix that for me.

thanks! i currently have 1 occelaris clown, 1 PJ cardinal, and a shrimpboby. theyre not big messmakers, my trites, trates, and ammonia are at 0, and ive got a crazy big cleanup crew, so im thinking it wont be a problem. i was actually thinking about getting another occelaris clown, but i dont want to risk them fighting, and i think 2 new fish would be too much. id rather have the sixline.

ya u should try a sixline i had one in my 29BC and he was really cool but one day he just went missing and i havent seen him since

 

[perfectdark]

They are not easy to find but IMO one they have the best personalities. How about a Midas Blenny? I had one she was awesome, they typically like to swim through the water column so they are seen more than other blenny's that hide out in your LR.
