xbwolfx Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well I do have my own kit, but trust me when I say my LFS is the ultimate in fishcare and knowledge. they talk me out of buying things all the time, and make sure i get whats best for my tank. and it has to be my clowns cause she had a nibble out of her tail. probley stressed her out. had a peppy, and it dissapeared! maybe i'll just have to buy another. gosh i just have the worst luck with shrimps :-\ my LFS was like "No more shrimps for you mallory!" well since you trust your LFS so much, maybe you should take its advice and not buy another shrimp.

Xanthi Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 i hope you know that you will need more that just one choco chip starfish.......... Link to comment
xbwolfx Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Those are all things that have either died (majority) or you have had to take back to the LFS. I have had a tank for a 1 1/2 years. I made one really stupid decision to try a school of chromis despite reports of aggression problems. I lost 3/5 of them and I will never "replace" them. Aside from that stupid mistake, the only livestock I have lost is a Yellow Watchman Goby that jumped out of my tank (I now have a net cover) and a clam that was likely killed by whelks that I didn't begin noticing in my tank until after the clam was dead (it also could have been a result of my 70w sunpod or the fact that the clam was only about 1.5" and I didn't do enough to keep it alive). Sure, we all lose livestock now and then....but the amount you have lost in such a short period is a lot, imo. Anytime there is a problem, you place the blame on something in your tank rather than on yourself. When something dies, you immediately run out and try to find some other "neat" creature to replace it with. I don't mean to be a hater, but at some point you need to start making some better decisions. Link to comment

I think that Harlequins actually prefer eating starfish over all other things. Some may not eat anything but starfish and they slowly die in tanks. You will probably need to supply the Harlequin shrimp with a steady diet of starfish, which can cost some $$. It is fun to watch them wheel away the starfish to be honest with you, unless you are attached to your starfish. Link to comment
