I oso have this problems with my sand star and hermits. Recently intro-ed 2 sand stars into my tank n luckily i caught the hermit sitting on top of the star and trying to poke it with its pincers. My hermit so far eat 2 of my turbo snails le so I wonder if it will also eat my stars. Hope someone can clarify this.
I currently have a T8 blue light (dono whats the specs) and I'm thinking of adding a T5 light for my tank. Went down to the LFS today and they said T5 is somewhat different from T8. Just wondering where can I get the connecting pins for T5 lighting and whether I should just add 1 more T8 instead.
Currently running a FOWLR tank of about 4ft x 2ft x 2ft. Hope some experts out thr can advice
Hi,
I'm new to this hobby (maybe around 1mth's experience). I wanna know if anyone encountered small white dots that are clinging onto your tank glass and they appear to be swaying with the current in the tank. I also noticed some small white worms crawling among the white dots and wonder if they are related. Also wanna know if these white dots pose a threat to the fishes (eg. parasites) or are they common encounters in a marine tank.
Hi,
I wanna ask more experienced ppl out thr on how to keep my cleaner shrimp healthy. Basically I initiated hyposalinity treatment on my other fishes due to ich and they are kept in another tank. Questions I have are:
1) Do I need to drop some food into my display tank for the cleaner shrimp or will it scavenge 'old' food left over since I removed the fish?
2) What are the chances of the shrimp living in an environment void of fishes for say 4-6 weeks? (Typical hypo treatment duration)
