Re: Are eSHa treatments safe for shrimp?

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think I'll play it safe and move the shrimp to another tank before treating. Appreciate the advice!

Are eSHa treatments safe for shrimp?

I've been dealing with some fin rot in my community tank and was considering eSHa 2000. Problem is, I've got a bunch of Cherry Shrimp in there too. Anyone know if it's safe for them? I've heard mixed things.

Agreed on the lighting. I've found Crypts do better in lower light. Maybe dial it back and see if that helps.

Re: keeping chromis in pairs: is it possible

I've had a pair of Green Chromis for a while now. One's bigger than the other and it does chase the smaller one occasionally, but it's all pretty harmless. No fin nipping or anything aggressive like that.

I've also got an electric blue damsel in the tank and it can get a bit feisty with the other ...

keeping chromis in pairs: is it possible

Hi

I've been thinking of keeping a pair of chromis in my 4ft tank, but I've read mixed things about this. Apparently they're best in groups, but I want a bit of variety in my tank, not just loads of the same fish. Can a pair of chromis be kept together, and would they be happy in a smaller group ...

Re: Is my purple neon orange-tipped hammer coral doomed?

Just picked him up, moved him back to where he was happy before. Thought maybe the other hammer might've stung it, and then this happened.
