i order 6 nass snails, 1 margarita snail, 3 peperment shrimp, and one yellow head jawfish today. im concerned the jawfish will make its home in the back of the tank
I'll bet it goes front and center. It may not go there first but once it figures out where the food is, it will put its main entrance nearby. Worst thing you can do is crowd the tank after introduction. Are you getting these shipped to you or is your LFS ordering them for you? Try a florida fighting conch for diatoms but yes they should go away. Rowafos is a good media for silicates (feed diatoms).
lfs, the Jawfish did make its home front and center, under a rock that is well supported (thats good) everything is great, tested my tank 2 days later, ph-8.2, ammonia-0, no2-0 no3-0 KH-11, calcium- 400. also my friend gave me a free frag of green star polyp. i figured i would get 2 gobys to go with him in a few weeks, and last the royal gramma, but i was wanting maybe one small non burrowing fish, to go with the gramma, any thoughts
A small, peaceful wrasse like a McCosker's Flasher Wrasse or a Possum Wrasse. I would avoid 6-lines but size wise, their good.
the mc coskers are awesome, i hope they dont cost to much. i gave the jawfish like 10 shells, its pretty cool to watch him move them and close his cave up at night. i got 2 small green fuzzy mushys, tested again and all is good, nothing has changed. i have been doing 2 3 gallon water changes a week to make sure i dont get any spikes. how would 2 blood shrimp get along with 3 peppermint shrimp
Not sure on the capatibility of those shrimp but blood fire shrimp are expensive so I wouldn't risk it. Are you running any GFO?
