(SHRIMP SWOP)

[Mr CRABS]

Hi guys...i have a boxer shrimp for swop WITH a doctor shrimp.I dun really know the market price but willing to throw in some money.I need it immediately as i heard it can cure itch.Please PM me.

[Mr CRABS]

Also willing to take a cleaner shrimp with some money thrown in...

[andylee]

Doctor shrimp can't really cure ich.

better cure will be hypo or reef-safe medicate

[Mr CRABS]

Oh i see...anyway i really need somethin that loves to eat all types of algae....i got red ones green ones...darn...they just keep growing

[southpaw23]

If it's algae issues u have....u might wanna consider a sally lightfoot.

[andylee]

sally lightfoot might get aggressive towards ur smaller fishes..

if urs is a nano.. get 2-3 turbo snails shld be enough

they work 24hrs non-stop

[southpaw23]

Not entirely true....most times, the sally lightfoot will not be able to harm a fish as it'll be too slow for most fishes...unless the fish is ill to begin with. Haven't had much problems with them thus far....

I haven't faced much luck with turbo snails on longer hair algae...and when they get too big...can be a lil clumsy....perhaps a combination of both might work for you....either way..good luck with it...

Mayb u wanna try selling it? Tink not alot ppl wanna exchange a cleaner with a boxer.

[Mr CRABS]

Of course cleaners are expensive...thats why i willing to add in some money...

Just want to know what is the market price for turbo snails?

[kraziworm83]

usually is $1

[Just me]

try Irwana, you might be lucky to get a cleaner shrimp

[Mr CRABS]

If thats so i would rather buy turbo snails......thanks for all your help...

TURBO SNAIL'S HERE I COME....

[joeyttk]

sea lifes sell them at 8 dollars

[andylee]

Bro, tot ur initial problem is to cure ich and not algae problem?

Anyway pple's reason for not swopping has nothing to do with the price i guess..

[Mr CRABS]

Cure ICh was my primary problem.another problem is the algae(dun wish to start a new thread for it)..Darn end up with soo many problems..But i bought certain medicines for ICH.Only 50%of the result was positive.thats why intend to get a living creature that would naturally eat them up......Wah algae cannot control,every day on my sand and glass got different type of algae.clearing them up is the hardest job.

[andylee]

try getting fire shrimp instead of cleaner shrimp

i seen my blue tang approaching it for clean up.. can see considerable less ich after abt 4 days..

but no guarantees.. the improvement may be due to the water change i did also

[ambystoma82]

green algae = phospate level too high...

go ML buy one abalone n clean ur fish tank..

damn hardworking...

hair algae = hector or rainford goby but not beri productive...
