When to add Fire Shrimp

[shawnriv]

Hi Everyone,

 

My 29G reef tank finished it's cycle about three days ago and it's housing a pair of true percula clowns. I want to add a fire shrimp to the tank and was wondering if it's safe to do so. I read a couple online forums and people said as long as the tank is cycled and ammonia is at zero, it is safe to add anything to the tank. I just wanted your opinions.

 

Thank you!

I think you're good to add the shrimp.

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I know with certain species like anemone are recommend not to be added to a tank until it's matured for a while, and didn't know if that's the same for shrimp. I added a clean up crew a couple days ago and they're doing fine.
