"H. fisheri are not suited for long-term captivity, as they do not appear to fare well in the shallow tanks of aquaria. Most specimens develop subcutaneous gas bubbles following a few months in captivity and die. It is speculated that this species needs to migrate to depths unachievable in normal aquarium conditions to maintain physiological balance."
Not sure about the gas bubbles but thanks for the info. It's all appreciated. Everyone on here is helping me keep them alive for the longest possible for sure.
Here is the start of their new home. All cycled water from a well established tank. along with some new water. I'm getting some live rock tomorrow and should be able to get them in the tank shortly after that.
30 gallon oceanic tank
Factory florescent lighting for a few months
Home made stand
Tunze 9002 skimmer
Aquaclear ac70 filter
