Super excited that our rock nems now have their own dedicated system!!

We've just started adding nems to this system and hopefully we will be able to consistently offer them on the website. This tank is easy to photograph in and the bins help to keep photographed nems organized :)

I am hoping to house around 300 here.

They don't move around much and aren't aggressive.

If you are going to have 300+ RFAs in there, you should have some Barry White playing to inspire them...

I have a few in my system and like all nems they'll eventually move where they want. I found better success getting them to stay if you put them by a larger rock near the sand than just rock rubble. But eventually they'll move to where the flow and lighting is best for them.

Ive had great luck turning off pumps and making a depression in the sand, they then attach to the bottom glass. This has worked for me 9 out of 10 times.

Love rock nems. Although, I'm at 34 RFAs, could always make room for 1-2 super special ones!;)
