Is my hammer okay??

SourAngelfish · Apr 28, 2018

Okay, my salinity is 1.025, Nitrates are 5-6 and my ammonia and nitrite are zero. Everything else in my tank is doing excellent and I got this new hammer a while ago. He’s been in here for about a month and the Urchin and hermits were kinda rolling on top of him and irritating him. I moved him today and he seems to be doing a lot better. He does have some whitish stripes though, do I need to be worried? I have yet to see him expell any zooxanthele.

No it should be fine. Mine did this today and I had to clean my tank, when I put it back in, it slowly lost the white stripes! Anyways, good luck! :)

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
