Welcome to FF, hope you plan on getting a bigger tank for those sharks, they grow big and agressive and cant really tollerate their own kind.

Welcome to FF! I agree with Blue Cray, you might want to tweak the stocking of the 20gal. Also, fiddler crabs are brackish and require land, and they should really not be kept in a freshwater tank. Lastly, your cories need a shoal of at least 6, but albinos are too large for a 20 gallon.

That means even less space for the fish to swim, in an already overstocked tank.

hey there fine look a few weeks ago i bought a green spotted puffer and there brackish fish so i talked to my boss and he reccomended i use sea salt a few cups in my tank would make him feel more safe so i did but he started niping my redtail shark so i returned him the water still has a bit of salt in it i do water changes about once a month or so so they should be fine.

it doesnt work that way. just because fish can survive doesnt mean they can thrive.
GPS get full marine when adults anyway, and no duh hes gonna nip at your shark, thats what puffs do Last edited by karazy; 07-10-2008 at 10:46 PM. |

Spit-roasting... that's pretty accurate. I think I was told within an hour that I was "overstocked" and that I should "take back" most of my fish.
I didn't get a chance to say welcome yet, so, welcome. |

Welcome to the site! The good thing is that you learn right out the gate who will roast you. That it happens in the welcome page is the most annoying to me. I mean can we at least say HEY nice to meet ya!!!! before we start throwing stones. That would be a concept.
Most folks on here are decent fun folks to hang with who have a lot of really good information. I hope you enjoy your stay!!!!
