Fallow, leave pistol w/o goby?

Deonne · Nov 29, 2018

Hi all,

I just removed my two YW gobies from my tank as I plan to go fishless for the next 6 weeks. Should I also try to remove the pistol shrimp, to maintain the bond in the QT, or will it be ok going solo for 6 weeks?

also surprisingly I caught both gobies in about a half hours work. pretty happy with that, thought it was going to be a nightmare

Why are you going fallow? Are you going to be treating your quarantine with copper? If so no inverts can be transferred over. Inverts cannot handle copper.
