Hi!
I had 0 ammonia and nitrites for three days, hit a tide pool, and added about 7 snails, 2 limpets, a giant chiton, and some zoas. Also ended up bringing home a biiiig mussel that my husband was going to eat, and never got around to it. Man, those things can poop! Who knew. They're local mussels, so happy with my tanks temperature.
Anyways, I've been testing every day, and other than barely readable nitrates (the only big spike I got initially, my ammonia spike was small, despite ghost feeding)
Husband is begging for a pair of clownfish. I want a pair of cleaner shrimp. Would you add anything yet? And which would you go for, the fish or the shrimp? I'd actually think that a clown would be more likely to live in a new tank. Maybe just one, instead of the pair, a juv?
I told him that if he can catch a clownfish, he can keep it. Damned if he hasn't spent every lunch break at the tide pools with a net. I think I'd prefer to buy, however. We get the nosestripe/skunk clowns locally, and frankly, the only clown I am happy with in a 65 gallon tank is a false perc.
Any advice?
