Stocking my 75 gal

Well, ORA has bred mandarins that were trained to eat various frozen foods. Good luck finding one. I can't find any down here.

 

Thanks, I was actually lookin at that one and others earlier. I like em and assume my buddies are gonna bust me if the fish has pink but that's doodz for ya. Now as far as adding sand is there a technique involved or ya just kinda put it in. I feel it'll all displaced but carefully placing doesn't really seem possible

 

what kind of sand are you adding? The sand that comes in a bag wet. If so, make sure you rinse it really well with RO water. This will help get rid of a lot of the tiny tiny particles that will make your tank super cloudy. Then, you can just add it in. With my previous tank, I just put it in a big mug and got as close as I could to the sand bed and slowly dumped it. That way it didn't stir up too much. I wanted to add about 2 inches, so I spread it out over a week and a half. Now I have a bare bottom tank

 

why not try a six line wrasse? its a small one but IMO opinion its kind of cute (wow, I said cute and im a boy lol)

 

You can always look at the whip fin fairy wrasse, it's manly colors. lol

 

be careful with the six lines, they can get aggressive and completely take over your tank and be the boss over everyone

 

Seriously? mine wasn't aggressive; as a matter of fact, he battled epicly with my damsel lol

 

Haha why yes he does, lol. I didn't know there was different sand. When I set up the tank it was dry live sand n had to wash it then just put it in. So just put in sometimes minimize losing it on the way down then dump it? Easy enough, thanks again!

 

They are usually hit or miss, the sixlines. I have read many many horror stories of them getting very aggressive as the mature and killing a fish as soon as they enter the new tank. Going as far as gouging another fishes eyes out. But, there are countless stories of them being angels and efficient cleaners. So, its a chance you take.

 

You are welcome. The sand you buy at the LFS in the bag isn't real live sand. It's basically wet sand with some bacteria added to it. LS actually has critters alive in it, like worms, pods, snails.

when you buy real LS, it comes straight from the ocean.
