12 Gal Challenge!!!

OK EVERYONE!

Heres your chance to make a difference!

I have, after about 2 months...realized that JBJ is only 20 mins from my house...lol sorry covey...so i got a new hood for my 12 gal nano...the ballast died lol...and i dont know what to do with it! im thinking maybe a pistol and goby or some easy invert i wanted harliquin shrimp...but when im away my bud helps out...and i dont think she would want to be feeding poor little star fishies to a shrimp lol...

Ok everyone let me know what and why i should do and you will get a cookie if you win OR!!! i will come to your house and do a nice little banjo solo for you

 

I think you should go with an anemone clown pair. RBTA and maroon gold band. Can also do a pistol with a watchman.

 

Well because it is just a nano cube with 24w of pc i dont think an anemone would be happy, i am thinking about a pistol and goby though

 

That is one of the most interesting symbiotic relationships you could ever watch so if that's your preferred choice, go for it.

As for harlequin shrimp, unless you plan on being away for a month or more, you shouldn't have to worry about the shrimp starving to death when you're gone. Just be sure to give the shimp a large enouugh starfish to keep them fed while you're gone. I only have to feed mine about once a month as one choc. chip starfish lasts them 2-3 weeks.

 

Mantis Shrimp! Check this tank and shrimp out. this is one of the funniest thread I've seen.

Hey amcarrig, how long do you leave the star for the shrimp to feed? Wouldnt it start to decay and make the ammonia skyrocket?

 

That is the creepy thing about the harlequin. The star is alive thru most of it.
