[winyfrog]

very nice! I love your shrimp goby. the rock work is awesome.

 

[Yoda_022]

Sweet thanks guys lol and girl!

I want to get:

• 1 more Blackray goby and the Pistol shrimp to go with them
• 1 Red firefish
• Maybe a Pearly Jawfish...
• I'm also getting a Harliquin Shrimp this Tuesday

 

[dustin_P74]

if you get a harlequin shrimp just know that you have to feed them mini starfish if im not mistaken

 

[Bifferwine]

Yep, harlequin shrimp need starfish to survive. If you don't have (or are unwilling to have) a constant supply of starfish for it to eat, it will starve.

Nice tank, Do you have a photo of the equipment your using trying to get ideas for my upgrade.

thanks

 

[Yoda_022]

Yeah I plan on buying Chocolate stars for the Harloquin shrimp. I really want to get a Fire shrimp but I really want Zooanthids...

 

[Yoda_022]

Yeah i'll take some pics of my equipment and post them...

 

[yote]

You can have fire shrimp with zoanthids.The shrimps not going to bother them in any way.

 

[Yoda_022]

oh really??? i've been told they will eat them and i've been told they won't...well then I guess i'll get one! Will it be ok with a Pistol shrimp and a Harliquin Shrimp?​

 

[dcantucson]

They won't eat your zoos and they'll be fine with the other shrimp, too.

 

[yote]

The only thing a fire shrimp will eat,is the waste and leftover fish food.And if the fish will let them,they'll clean the fish of parasites and dead scales and skin.

+1 yote, dcan.... I've got tons of zoas, and a fire shrimp. The shrimp will occasionally pick fish food off the zoa rocks, but doesn't want a thing to do with the zoas themselves. I love my fire shrimp... he cleans my hands, as well as my angelfish. They're cool. Also have a pistol shrimp, and the two shrimps never go anywhere close to each other. I highly recommend a fire shrimp in every tank. :)
