Hi there!
I’m planning the addition of a T. Lymma when I get everything transferred over to my new 200x80x65 tank and I've tried researching them but there’s very little solid information to be found on these guys.
If some of you have any first hand experience of keeping these guys I would love to hear it!
Before anyone jumps on this: Yes, I’m fully aware of the fact that this is a challenging species to keep.
I have about 20 years of reefing under my belt and I’ve kept/keeping several “difficult” species such achilles, moorish idols, CBB, regals, multibars etc without any problems.
I also have a lot of experience with large predatory fish including freshwater stingrays so I think (hope) I’m up to the challenge.
-Are there any main pitfalls to watch out for?
-I remember de-worming the wild cough FW stingray was often a must. Same thing here and if so, how would you go about it?
-I plan to keep it in a reef tank with a lot of open spaces. From what I’ve been able to find on a German forum it will mostly annihilate most inverts in/on the sand bed but fish should generally be safe. Correct?
Any additional information is of course extremely appreciated!
All the best
