the coral banded shrimp is a highly territorial invertebrate. when the fishes come close, he'll chase and snap at them. the fishes reaction is to swim away, but when theres a limited space, theres only more space if you jump up instead of straight. you'll be getting tons of jumpers that way

I find myself being just curious more than most but I have to ask you just one question......... Do you research the stock you want to get before you buy them? Enquiring minds want to know.
Many of these "issues" you are writing about are in books, online, and such. It would seem to me, maybe just me, that some of this could be,..... or whats the word I'm serching for here..... oh yes, avoidable.
However, I can understand some criiters are different and act different than others, firm believer, but nonethless who would put a coral bandit in a 10G tank? With edibales,.... er uhm ....fish?
I'm not testing you or being pissy with ya, just throwing out a question. Keep in mind no one is perfect, well there are a small few on SWF even so, they have years experience and have done their research.
With all this said....... bye

I have one suggestion. For a cover for your 10 gal, they make one that fits a 10 gal tank that is screen. its for people who keep reptiles or in my case, hampsters. it fits tight onto the tank. I got it at pet supermarket.

bye???? watever!!!! ur angry at me because i put a shrimp in my tank i was told not to! Sry but not ur tank man....
Like i said i havent seen aggression out of him or nothin, never caught him eating a fish like i have from a hermit or nothin...
I thought the jumpers WERE the fish meowzer suggested so my bad....
BYE
To others that do care: I'll prob return him when he gets bigger and get a goby and pistol combo now that i know where to get it!!!!
In this hobby do fish just go mysteriously go missing? Not just in the tank with the bandit! One fish jumped i think and yes the smaller chromis might have gotten eating...lol its the circle of life....

if you go a diy route, you can do plastic. mine is plastic with aluminum borders. water touches the aluminum all the time, no rust here

 

[1guydude]

ya the reptile cover has rust already in the spaces between where the edges meet...
i am doing the diy thing nike

ill post pics of my old lids tommorow and the new ones from tonight...maybe tonight if the lighting allows it lol....
1 down and that one was the easy one, eggcrate...just had to cut it to size. Im making the other one now as i write this lol....just like the diy link u gave me!

 

[1guydude]

 

[nikesb]

the small sections around your filter need something there. maybe cut up some acrylic and glue it. because theyll certainly find those holes

 

[1guydude]

As long as it doesn't fall in I'd say yes...otherwise you have to lift the whole lid....
