SRC Member nicholasloh Posted June 10, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 10, 2004 who would add salt to anemones??? Emm... lyk 9 months ago, I had to increase the salinity. So i pour the salt into the area where the water flow out. and the not-dissolved particles floated to the anemone... and then the anemone melted... dun tok abt it liao. now, i prefer carpets. much easier to maintain and keep.

terryansimon Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 to sum it up, never dump salt directly into a tank. always put it into a container first, dissolve it in water, THEN dump it into a tank. salt crystals have the ability to burn corals, not just anemones. the same goes for any additives.

SRC Member patrick123 Posted June 10, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 10, 2004 Is fire shrimp the same as blood shrimp? I have 4 cleaner shrimp. Can I add blood shrimp into the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryansimon Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 the last I check, they share the same common names. my six fire shrimps are living very well with cleaner shrimps. both species have their own rockscape in which they call their own territory. so no dispute between them I guess.

SRC Member huanjie Posted June 11, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 11, 2004 Use the egg crate wrapped with plastic net ( those that comes with some fruits ) to cover the overflow to prevent fishes falling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont push ur luck. yours is probably an anomaly. most people I know do not have murderous fire shrimps. either that or your shrimps were half dead by the time the fire shrimps got hold of it.

Achilles Tang Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 Add salt to fresh water during a water change and never the other way around!
