Hey guys, first post. Porkfish question?

sausage5000 · 03-27-2006, 07:18 AM

maybe i can hang out here and learn something.

so... anyone know about atlantic porkfish? they seem like nice guys so far, my two are little juveniles. they definitely like to pick at the liverock, but i don't really have any soft stuff, so that's okay.

but, the important question for me: when the porkfish get a bit bigger, will they kill a large sized coral banded shrimp? they seem totally fine with shrimpy, so far... but i'm concerned about him becoming a nighttime snack.

porkfish will consume any crabs snails shrimp or starfish in there.
