OK here's the deal... I went and got 2 very large, gorgeous skunk cleaner shrimp to add to my tank and all looked great.... for about 10 minutes. Yep, out of nowhere, my shrimp vanished... I looked everywhere and finally noticed some seriously intense white, long whiskers hangin out of my squirl fishes mouth
... with my daughter's Barbie pole and a piece of shrimp, I got him an about 2 minutes. No worries about him... he's found a home in our wall tank with a few damsels, a diamond goby, and some astrea snails. Thought I'ld share... Jason ------------- www.captivereefing.com |
. I know they can be preditory of inverts like crabs and shrimp, but the shrimp were as big as the fish so I thought I was safe(the shrimp, I mean). I tried for over 4 hours to get that fish out without rippin up my display with no luck. Then I thought...'can't hurt to fish him out'... so I did just that and voila..
