Cleaner shrimp

werner61 · 03-03-2009, 07:26 PM

How big do Cleaner shrimp get? I have had my shrimp for about two months and he has molted 4 times about every two weeks. I am assuming that this is a good sign about the health of the tank.http://www.aquariumforum.com/images/smilies/fishRed.gif

constant molting can be a sign of stress. I believe they get to be 2 inches.

He is definitely growing. Water stable only one fish (clown) in tank, eats well.

petlover516 · 03-08-2009, 05:28 PM

just so u are aware clowns do better in pairs.

Yes I know about clowns but he seems to be doing fine, we added this weekend a royal grammas and fire fish, they really like playing the the LR. Even the Clown is showing interest in them no personality problems...yet. However I noticed some Zoanthas growing on the LR, At least that is what they look like but they are really small right now. SW is so cool!

petlover516 · 03-24-2009, 03:37 PM

ok btw what size tank is it?

werner61 · 03-24-2009, 03:43 PM

20 gal

petlover516 · 03-24-2009, 03:45 PM

royal grammas need no smaller than a 29 gallon. your overcrowding your tank. u have about 8-10 inches in there thats overcrowding.

Hey petlover I have a question I have a 12g nano and 1 Black percula clown, just got it yesterday its my only fish, do you think I could get another one, or is it tow small and if I do do you think I should get a orange one?

petlover516 · 03-24-2009, 05:01 PM

u could (and rather should) get one more, and orange one would look better. even with just those 2 u will need frequent maintenance.

APoirier594 · 03-24-2009, 06:08 PM

yea, right now Im doing 2 gallon water changes every 2 weeks. I have almost 0 nitrates but i dont only because I just added my clean up. crew about a week and half ago and added the clown. I'm also getting a anomane even though I dont think my clown will host it it starts with a C idk what its called and its a cheaper(price) anomane.
