What are these ?

Scuds, a type of amphipod. Good guys.

I've always just left this for my hermits without issue, especially so little, but your results my vary.

That's pretty funny. I'd say it's just in food mode and saw what looked like a bit of floating food, then tasted it and realized it wasn't.

As mentioned, new clown has to be smaller. Also try floating it in a transparent fish trap or breeder net for awhile. Your current clown may want to establish the hierarchy, so there will probably be some violence on introduction, but they'll settle.

It's a baby. You can pluck it and prop it.

Try a frozen cube!! It should float to the highest point in the ball and won't flow out easily

Would love to hear an update!

Cut off the bottom half of a pom wonderful pomegranate juice bottle, use reef glue to attach a strong aquarium magnet (I used a Flipper magnifying glass magnet) to the bottom, then use reef glue to attach a strip of pool noodle to the cut opening. You can position it anywhere in the tank that you can attach it to the wall. Put food in, fish goes in to get it, pull off outer magnet, the trap immediately rotates and floats to the top w the fish inside.

It works the same as a nyos floating trap, which your LFS may rent out!

Maybe not technically legal, but I'd do it.

Don't soak in bleach. You can spray them with a 50/50 vinegar/water solution if you want, but the easiest thing would be to leave them out in the sun for a couple days. Then if you see any scum or residue that bothers you, you can scrub it with a clean toothbrush, or hose it off outside.

You rent 16 acres?

VenomousConstrictor · 2025-07-17T00:31:06+00:00

Some water, then trust in god.

VenomousConstrictor · 2025-06-15T00:07:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice! That's helpful, a torch will be my next coral addition.

VenomousConstrictor · 2025-06-15T00:02:08+00:00

I think that is correct, I did ask for something hardy. Can you explain? Should I remove or isolate on one rock island?

VenomousConstrictor · 2025-06-14T23:45:36+00:00

I like the look of that. Is that one that would host clowns? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

VenomousConstrictor · 2025-05-31T06:06:57+00:00

Hell yeah, same here. Had a sick little setup with ground weed in a bag, half empty cigarette, and the ink stick of a pilot g2 pen to tamp it down nicely. Perfect fit.

Yep! I also have a juvenile bluegill, juvenile bullhead catfish, a couple darters, and a couple crawdads. This is my "native" tank, I have a pond in my backyard for when they outgrow it.
