Will there be any harm in feeding my emerald crab to my f8s? I have seen the crab reach and try to grab my watchman goby multiple times, and today i came home to him eating my green star polyps... i need to get him out of the tank!!

alright thank you

yea he eats like a pig

i havent fed him for 3 days now, ive put him in a net during feeding. but he still looks like he just ate

i have a 10 gallon fowlr with a watchman goby thats 1.5 inches and a tiny fire fish. Im looking to add one more fish, what are some suggestions?

one of my fig 8s stomach does not get smaller at all, it always looks like he has just been fed. Hes eating fine and acts normal, but his stomach is always big. ive netted him the last few feedings to see if his stomach goes small again, but it stays the same. should i try epsom salts to see if that...

Thanks guys

It was a lot harder to get pics of both of them then I thought it would be... they kept coming out blurry, so I could only get one at a time. & theres some other pics of the tank mates

For sure. Ill try and get some tomorrow and upload them

Well I added the new fig8 like 4 days ago, and they are both doing fine. no chasing or nipping at all. Hopefully it stays that way...

yea, hes been the only puffer in the tank. Should I add one more f8 and see how it goes? I can always bring it back if there are problems.

Im going to be upgrading my f8 tank soon to a 29 and was wondering if it would be safe to add another figure 8? I have had the f8 for about 5 months and he is with 2 bb gobies and a rhino horn goby.

geez $5 for a dp...

is $5 expensive or cheap? Around here they're 6-7 bucks

im probably just gonna order a refractometer. I found one for $48, does this seem decent? http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/p ... catid=9957

its one that fills with water and the needle moves up to what the salinity is.. and my brackish tank is at 1.005 according to it, but it says my tap is 1.003
