Drift Monkey Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Nice. hopefully im able to go to my lfs and put some stuf on my employee account lol. I love working at a fish store cause i can not pay for things right away and just owe them so hopefully I find some stuff i want or need. Yeah, just "owe them" a bunch right before you move.

jgpico Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Lol I am nervous to get too much livestock before I leave cause I have never moved a tank before. I wouldnt want to get all kinds of stuff just to kill it in a move ya know. Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Pics as promised... She gave me crabs! Chillin' in their new home. One have them has since hosted one of my 'shrooms... Also, I bought some shrimp pellets and fed my tank today...man that nassarius comes up quick! My candy canes gobbled whole pellets! The palys wolfed down their pellets with the quickness. I even got a couple shrooms in on the action. I swear they all look bigger/more plump now... I was even able to get one of the porcelain crabs to eat some of the pellety goodness! Link to comment

Drift Monkey Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 sweet porcelain crabs. Next step.... SEXY SHRIMP!!!!!! I'm still trying to track a local source for them. Might have to special order. The LFS didn't have sexies, but they did have a bumblebee shrimp apparently...should I grab him as well? Would he be ok with 3 sexies in there with him? Nice looking crabs drift! Thanks! They're pretty awesome...I'd have added one more if they had another... Your girl brought home crabs! Nice! Yeah...and she gave them to me! Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 From what I have read they are all peaceful. I want two bumblebee shrimp and 1 porcelain crab. I'll do some more research at work tonight to make sure they are all compatible but i believe they are. Link to comment

Do they do better in groups like sexies? I'm telling you...I have a crustacean problem... Link to comment

I'm telling you...I have a crustacean problem... Haha so do i. Yea they are super tiny. Im not sure whether or not groups of them matter. I know they are like harlequins and eat starfish but will also take other meaty foods, unlike harlequins. My LFS said they would swith out my sexies for bumblebees but I think ill just add the bumblebees with the sexies. I was surprised, the sexies went the whole night and didnt touch my zoas. Maybe they are learning. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ah, screw vertebrates! Who needs em! Haha, yea the other tanks can have their fish, that get ich and all those diseases. We will keep the inverts. If i dont get a fish then i guess that means i have to get a maxi mini nem huh. That was another reason i didnt want one cause if i got a goby i didnt want it to become a nice meal for the nem. Link to comment

jgpico Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I love when girls give me crabs! Lol those porcelains are awesome. We have had a couple bumblebee shrimp at my lfs before and I should have picked a couple up instead of the sexies. I think I'm going to go get a pom pom crab tomorrow. I really like your lighter colored porcelain, it's awesome. I need to do something with my tank cause it's getting boring. I really like the progress youve made drift. Link to comment
