Razorfish

Hi everyone

Added a razorfish to my pipe/mandarin fish yesterday..

Thinking of adding a sea urchin for the razor to "feel secure"...anybody has experience keeping that?

Approximately about $140 (fish tank, HOB filter, HOB fuge, lighting)

Added my Mandarin/Pipefish/Razorfish tank with a Dragonface Pipefish & Green Clown goby 6 days ago..

I feed all of them with Mysis, brine, copepods and rotifers..

Hi! I am trying to set up something similar, but with a 2ft tank. Do you mind sharing with me how to set up a hob fuge?

Thanks!

Basically, I just purchase an external breeding box and add in some chaeto and caulerpa prolifera..at the same time add in live copepods and dose phytoplankton for them to multiply and that's it bro
