Bongo Shrimp's 29g Lagoon

[animalmaster6]

Sea Fern and horsie is awesome!

I wish I could get bongos...did you get them all off of DD?

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yup, more to come too. Never seen 'em anywhere else.

[Squared]

So you have 5 bongos, right? How big is the biggest one?

[Bongo Shrimp]

Biggest, named "The Beast", is about 1" long.

[Squared]

That's tiny! So how small is your smallest?

[Bongo Shrimp]

Probably 1/2".

[Squared]

That's TINY. You should set up a pico for them.

[Bongo Shrimp]

Now here's something interesting- While cleaning my tank, I noticed that one of the Bongo Shrimp in my new pair might have eggs. I suspect so because one's abdomen is darker than the other's.

[Squared]

You should turn your pico into a bong breeder. Just a thought. It should would be cool if you could raise bongo larvae.

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yeah but I hate doing WCs everyday on the pico- I know, I know, I don't HAVE to do them everyday, but it worked perfectly when my pico was a reef.

Check out my new toyyy:

Where did the horses come from?

[Bongo Shrimp]

From two different LFSs, the orange one is ORA.

[animalmaster6]

Nice! I love Blue Velvet Nudis!

 

2 questions:

- Do they bomb your tank when they die?

- Do they get slime EVERYWHERE like Lettuce Nudis?

 

Thanks!

[Bongo Shrimp]

I believe he could bomb the tank but I intend to get rid of him in a week or two before he bombs it.

 

And he only gets slime in the area where he sleeps at night. Not as he moves around.

[animalmaster6]

I just want one to get rid of flatworms and so I can get a pair of Emperor Shrimp for the 125G

New sponge I picked up:

I have seen thousands of CRINOIDS (feather stars) diving in the Indo-Pacific, but I have NEVER seen a crinoid in captivity!!! Holy crinoid! I am very curious how and what do you feed it?????????????

[Bongo Shrimp]

Well the only problem is (I have heard) that all different feather stars eat something different. So unless you found the exact same kind I have, chances are it won't eat the same thing. Anyhow, I feed DTs, frozen mysis, and frozen cyclopeeze to the entire tank daily. But the feather stars could even be eating something else in the tank that I don't even know about.

 

By the way, the feather stars are in my reef, not lagoon.

[Squared]

I saw a pretty red feather star at a pet store. Wonder if it will last.

[Bongo Shrimp]

Ok, I'm not just saying this because I don't usually recommend them, but I can tell you that if you're going to get a feather star DO NOT get the pretty red ones. Of all the types people have tried, the red ones never ever live.

 

***Disclaimer***

 

The above information does not warrant you to go out and buy a feather star

[Bongo Shrimp]

New Bongo Shrimp inbound for thursday!

[Nemo Niblets]

I wonder what they taste like.

[Bongo Shrimp]

Maybe- instead of wondering what they taste like, you should be wondering what starfish taste like? Huh? Ever think of that?
