hmmm..ok..to each his own...I don't trust any fish that looks like a grouper. Some links that share my thoughts on the possibility of shrimp becoming meals..

I doubt so..put one into my tank with 1cm shrimps swimming around and I'm pretty sure they would be gone sooner or later. From the way they swim and the shape of their mouth it's pretty obvious they are carnivorous. Maybe they won't attack bigger shrimps like skunk shrimps or blood shrimps..but anything smaller than ###### shrimps would have to be treated with caution.
Don't use myxazin...it will discolor the water. Most likely not invert safe. For octozin it does not discolor the water in any way. Anyway..since it is stated as invert safe...and clams are considered inverts (bivalves) anyway...I don't see why it's would'nt be safe unless they specifically mentioned clams. Why not just remove the clams during the course of treatment just in case?
Yes it cures ich. I have used it on ich before. It will take quite some time to work though. Around a week if I did'nt remember wrongly. Not sure if safe with clam...I wasnt keeping clams last time..
I recommend octozin by waterlife. ML carries their products if I am not wrong. I have used it in reef tanks as small as 2ft without skimming without any ill-effects. Another shop would be in lavender area. The shop specializing in planted setups. Rather near to harlequin aquarium one.
Some updates..my periclemes cleaner gotten from PR some days ago. The smaller male got snapped upon by my pipefish who thought it was mysis coz it was slightly opaque. While it was in a daze, my pistol came along and finished it off with a few clicks...oh well..only left with 1..
Might be diseases that the other fish have resistance to. Happened so to my yashias too. Other fishes were unaffected. What symptoms do the fish show? Do they exhibit laboured breathing with decreased appetites?
