Thanks again!That'll be fine. As I said it's no huge emergency, just do what you can to lower the current ammonia and nitrite levels and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Happy to helpThanks again!
Thanks! They seem to like all the little caves and such. The hawk has plenty of perches. I just wish he didn't eat my shrimp. That was an expensive treat lolWell your fish do look perfectly fine as you stated (And btw nice aquascape) so this isn't really that much of an emergency, but should be acted on quickly.
Thanks again! I thought I was doing ok but I am learning a ton and did so much research before I even started. Hopefully I can resolve this tomorrow! I just added prime since that's what I have. I will make sure I have extras in hand going forward!Two of many things I recommend always keeping on hand is Prime and Bio - Spira. Both have a great shelf life.
Happy to have helped. Just remember slow and steady wins in this hobby and anything that happens fast usually is not good.
Hawks love Shrimp. One of there main foods in the wild. I had 6 Fire Shrimp that cleaned all my fish until I started adding groupers. Ya they cleaned my groupers then the groupers eat them.Thanks!

I bet he did. So can I not have shrimp anymore? The hawk was expensive!Yeah lol, but I bet he enjoyed that fancy dinner
No shrimp unfortunatelyI bet he did. So can I not have shrimp anymore? The hawk was expensive!
You can have as many as you want as long as you know he will have them all for dinner. LolI bet he did. So can I not have shrimp anymore? The hawk was expensive!
Haha true. More snails it is then!You can have as many as you want as long as you know he will have them all for dinner. Lol
Hermit Crabs seem to be ok with them as well if your looking for other cool clean up crew members. I love my Pin Cushion Urchin but they will carry snails and frags around as hats which the first time is cool and funny but when it’s every morning your having to put things back where they go it gets old. Here’s mine carrying around a 3” Porties frag a few weeks ago. LolHaha true. More snails it is then!
The added hawk was the "straw that broke the camel's back" in terms of bioload. With new tanks, wait a good month between fish adds if you're approaching your gallons/bioload capacity. Also, the fact he killed the shrimp likely caused a bunch of decay which = Amonia spike. Solution: water change and bioload reduction. Do you have a friend who can hold the hawk for a bit?The tank already went through a full cycle though. Why would everything crash so suddenly? The three fish we're happy and water was good until I added the hawk and he ate my shrimp lol.
