John Bloch Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Could I keep more than one pair of Harlies in a 20L with a 20H underneath it? I was planning on culturing asternia in the sump, and then feeding em about every other day with a coupla stars... other fish plans for the 20L- six line maybe a pigmy angel Some sort of goby and mayybe a pistolshrimp for the go-b... or a goby for the pistol... you think that would work? or would I have to ditch the pistol? or what? thanks for your help dudes!!!!

FloorLord Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'd say not 2 pairs, 1 pair would be cool. A ton of Asterina's really is'nt enough for them in time IME. (I fed mine a 4" Sand-Star once, and it mowed the WHOLE thing in less than a couple days) Give serious thought to a Pistol Shrimp in that shallow of a tank as well. If you plan on having ANY sand whatsoever, (Which you should if you're gonna get a goby) you will hate the thing. HTH D Link to comment
djchristone Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 that;s weird...my roommate has two fully grown harlequins and they really take their time eating one...at least 2-3 weeks so i guess uh...it once again depends on the personality... and uh...with a sixline and angel...shouldn't you be worried about them nipping/eating/killing the harlequins? -.- Link to comment

I didn't think that they were but, I could be wrong.... and the order of adding would be- harlequins, angel, pistol/goby and then the six line... and asternia, chocolate chips, I dosent matter... I can get either for cheap... its just that I can get asternia for like... free.... Link to comment
Uploadead Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 do ''The' Calvin'. Keep a few chocolate chip stars and every week or when they're hungry cut off a cc stars leg, as the legs regrow, then harvest another leg next time from a different starfisa and you will have lots of food for alot cheaper!

CGNano Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 It's not practical to regrow legs. I wouldn't keep more than one pair, and also, as Christone said, watch for predation. Pistols will also readily kill Harlequins. Link to comment
