GSP and Chaetomorpha

Post by Jivenjune »

Is it safe for my GSPs to be eating this stuff? They seem to be gorging on it whenever I turn a blind eye to them.

No problem if he likes his veggies.

Hey PufferPunk, my GSPs are almost at full marine salinity. I've heard you've safely kept your buddies with other marine fish. Was there some specific or special process you went through to prevent aggression? My pals are only about two inches, but I want to go to full marine soon. I plan to add a twenty-gallon underground refugium/sump once I get paid (hopefully to prevent the bio-load from skyrocketing).

Haha, yeah. I just have it growing in the open instead of in a refugium or sump. Sometimes, they sleep under it in between taking nibbles here and there.

It was pretty much hit or miss. When I added 2 juvie Percs, one wax missing the 1st night, so the other we t back. Tried a maroon clown & the puffer's tails went missing. The med tomato clown was the one that seemed to work.

Is the tomato clown the only other tankmate?

I had success with a trio of yellowtailed damselfish too.
