Question for salty bottom

[NoahLikesFish]

So salty bottom, is it possible for you to take a picture of how the rocks are laid out and Basically collect from 1 small pile of rocks so I know how the scape is supposed to work for the health of my creatures?

The purple side with the most stuff on it should be towards the light.

The rest is creative license.

oh, ok

Should I use tongs or gloves to handle the rock? I don’t want to have a bobbit worm slither out then rip my finger off

Or I accidentally impale myself with a urchin. I am considering dipping my rock in very salty water to scare out animals then put them in a bucket of tank water to analyze the animals and see what I want and what I can just throw in a pico jar

Highly unlikely they will slither out and rip your finger off. They prefer to lie in wait in your tank and then attack while you are sleeping.
Gloves are good....

Full chain mail I think would be appropriate.

Thanks for the advice. Should I get a blowtorch too?

Why not just waterboard them if you're into that sort of thing

 

[NoahLikesFish]

What’s waterboarding

 

[NoahLikesFish]

My plan is probably gonna be getting a line of tupperwares a cheap light or just turn my room light to the Max and then put them all in and add a air pump. each shrimp or crab or whatever gets 1 tub

It's a method to get the critters to talk so you know if they're friend or foe

i heard someone talking about having a research tank in their fish room and this is basically what I am trying to do

[NoahLikesFish]

Terrorists.

Fish in Tanks? No, Thanks! | PETA

Fragile tropical fish, who were born to dwell in the majestic seas and forage among brilliantly colored coral reefs, suffer miserably when they are forced

Interesting. You may want to consider adopting some ethical treatment yourself judging by some of your fish choices for a 20g tank.
