to many pods

[debbie]

Is there such a thing as to many pods in your tank??
My 10 gal is swarming with them, they are tiny at the moment but they are everywhere. What else will eat them besides mandarins??
Should I worry about them or leave them??

send some to reading pennsylvania!

 

[chadman]

haha...but i think they are usually good they eat detritus and such...if they run out of things to eat they'll prolly die off themselves

no there is no such a thing!! if you don't want them, send them to me.

Okay so I guess they are just fine then from what you all say. I just cannot believe in such a small tank that I have so many of them. Using my magnifying glass I can see them better and they are everywhere.
Say will a maroon clown eat some of them??

A sixline wrasse is good. Can be a little scrappy to small gobies though.

yeah all fish will go after the larger ones if they spot them ususally. But no, you can't have too many. They are an important part of the ecosystem in a mature marine tank. They'll clean and provide food for your fish and reef ;D

Out of all of the probs I have ever had with my tanks, sure wish that was one of em!

i wish that was my problem everyday.. but there is to much competition in marine tanks. the biodiversity allways decreases/increases in a tank's life. some people add refugems/breeder to have a constant supply of them. that's why is not a problem at all.
