danktank Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 how often and how much do you feel your harlequins? do u think i could keep one ortwo in a 2.5 and keep the sea stars in the back of my solana? Link to comment
Squared Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I give the shrimp a leg every few days. I think a pair would be able to live in a pico, but the sea star you give them may become shocked when they go from solano water to pico water. I'm not sure about that, but just a guess. But I say go for the harlequins, they are pretty easy to take care of. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 ...It has been a while. Still want sexy shrimp. Hopefully before the end of april I will have some. Also want wisker coral. Link to comment
OClownsandNanos Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Love the tank - like the unusual concept. Beautiful macros! You will not regret eventually going with sexies, they are very entertaining shrimp. I've got only one in my 40BR but she is rarely invisible to me. She stays out in the open quite a lot and does her little dance often. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 I like it when my harlys dance. I wonder why they wiggle. And I also want more mushies for sexies to host. I really want more inverts but it will be hard to say when I will get some. Also, can Acans grow under the 24w PC? Link to comment
Banjo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Awesome tank! I love your Harlequins, they're gorgeous. I have a pair of sexys in my nano and they are quite entertaining. You won't be disappointed with sexys! Link to comment
Squared Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks. And I have some exciting news: I think my harlequin is carrying eggs! But I'm not sure. So you can decide for yourselves: Is she carrying eggs or not? Link to comment
Squared Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 What do you think of this invert list: 3 sexy shrimp 1 bumble bee shrimp 1 pom pom crab 1 porceling crab I will probaly get the bumble bee shrimp first, since it is cheapest. This is not a lot of inverts, but can someone tell me the invert limit? Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 yes, they have eggs in my opinion, that list is fine with inverts. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I just added my harlies. Love em. There cool to watch and easy to care for. They get along great with my sexies and bumble bees. Invert tanks are the ####. To feed my harlies I just got a choc chip snipped it to bits and froze the bits throw one or two in when the shrimp don't have a piece to eat. Some times the bumble bees try to steel the starfish. They like stars a lot too. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 More will come. I will get more fanwoms, maye I'll get a pair of bumbles instead of one. More sexy shrimp. More mushrooms. More. Need more inverts. Link to comment
Twilton Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 i love this tank, think i might have to make a invert tank Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Today every post has to do with invert tanks What is up with that???????? Link to comment
Twilton Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 haha reading the comments that seems very true, i just think it would be a cool tank to have you can have movement from the shrimp, the look of the corals just think they are a cool concept haha Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Noticed that too. It's cause there flipin cool man. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 IMO, inverts are completely awesome... BUt you can't have a reef without fish. Link to comment
Banjo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 MORE!!! That list sounds good. Hurry up and get some of them so I can see more pictures Link to comment
Squared Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Now everybodies' dream is to have a tank were in every 4 square inches of space their is a shrimp or crab. My tank will be that tank! Next time I go my LFS, I am ordering either sexy shrimp or bumbles. Maybe a pom pom crab. I can pretty much garuntee this! Link to comment
Black Mark Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 tank will be that tank lolooll i like the tank the shrimp look healthy Link to comment
Squared Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks. I thought my light broke on this tank, so I was close to not getting more inverts. I am going to wait a little before ordering more inverts, so I can make sure I have enough money to cover broken things. Keep checking in. Link to comment
konolua Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 So, did you get everything you wanted? I am sure you are a true reefer like all of us and that means you would hustle out and buy the inverts so IF your light did go out, then you would be all "oh man, now i have to fix the light too!" but you would already have your new livestock!

Squared Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 You have a point. But unfortuanatly I had to spend a good chunk of money on a new fixture. I got a cadlights 4x T5 for my reef, and moved the 2x 24w DX hood to this tank. Now I have no invert money, but maybe I can get 1 thing. And I have feeling it is going to be CUC for my reef. Soon I should have enought money for a sexy shrimp or two. I still just have my pretty pretty harlequins . Link to comment
