barrman Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My tank finished cycling a week ago. As of today, the tank is 3 weeks old and i currently have a cleanup crew consisting of; 3 Astrea Snails 3 Nerite Snails 1 Margarita Snail 3 Tongan Nassarius Snails 2 Scarlet Reef Hermits 2 Blue Dwarf Hermits My water parameters are; Salinity - 1.0255 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - >5 pH - 7.9 Would I be ok adding a Banded Coral Shrimp? Are my nitrates low enough for the shrimp? (i've read that theyre sensitive to nitrates) Will the shrimp kill/eat any of my cleanup crew? Link to comment
this1fish Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The shrimp like any other shrimp can become a pest if there's nothing in the tank to put them in their place. They will kill just about anything they can over power. I had a cleaner shrimp and peppermints that pulls hermits out of their shells after they molt to eat. Oh and i feed the tank daily so they are just evil. Link to comment
