BluCrab Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Here's what I'm wanting to do... I'm down to one fish in the tank and one blood red shrimp, troch snails,fighting cronch, bumble bee snails and blue leg hermits. Plus one big bristle worm. I'd like to stock it with plenty of shrimp and other cool inverts ,since I have another mix reef tank (48 gllon) with plenty of fish. I just wanted some cool suggestions that might co-exist with everything in my Bio Cube. So I have a 29 gallon bio cube that's been set up 2 years ago this month. Currently it's topless with a kessil 150AW Ocean Blue, I've lost a few fish over the year do to no screen . Current stock of corals are as follows... plenty of mix zoas Red blastos variety of mushrooms Purple Styro I would like a active ,lively display. When I get home I'll post an updated FTS Link to comment
HVani Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hermits seems to fit your needs. I use to have a blue knuckle and a Halloween hermit. They were a lot of fun to watch. Scarletts are nice too but a little lazier. Some other options that don't fit all your criteria but are neat: Sexy shrimp Harlequin shrimp Serpent starfish Pompom crabs porcelain crabs Urchins Link to comment
BluCrab Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was thinking of doing like 3-5 sexy shrimp to start off with ,maybe two cleaner shrimp. I totally forgot about the Urchins, I like exotic stuff and that's something you don't see in many Marine tanks. I have one Harlequin shrimp in my other tank but he doesn't come out much. Are they shy or just night stalkers? thanks for y'alls input, Link to comment
HVani Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think they are night stalkers. I think you also see them more in a smaller tank. Kind of like porcelains and pompom crabs Link to comment
BluCrab Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think I might go your route ,hermit crazy. I have plenty of torch snail shells in my sand bed they would love. Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have a lobster in my tank but he only comes out during feeding so not the most active but something different. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 horseshoe crab....=P LOL I don't think a horseshoe crab would physically fit in a BC 29. What are they, Like a foot across? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 LOL I don't think a horseshoe crab would physically fit in a BC 29. What are they, Like a foot across? I saw some at the Aquatic Experience convention last month. They were quite small =P. Of course I am only kidding with actually keeping one but I have read people do it. Picture of me holding one: Available at KPA: http://sealifeinc.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=98 Link to comment
HVani Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cool! I figured you were kidding I have seen horseshoe crabs washed up on the shore. They were huge, I can't imagine one keeping one, much less in a reef. Link to comment
BluCrab Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've seen a few small ones for sale around town before, thought about it once but decided not to. Link to comment
