Rock flower nem in a pico

[Redbird5]

I have successfully kept a 2.5g Maxspect Dice Pico aquarium for over a year. Currently I would two sexy shrimp, one very small colony of zoas and a green striped goby and a small CUC, four snails. I would love to add a RFA to it, but I'm cautious because I'm not 100% sure that AI is telling the truth when it tells me I can do this. Can this be done? Or should I add it my 45g?

Ehhh? It could work; it just might be a little crowded in there with a 2.5 g, especially when you have corals in there.

Just a zoa on top of a rock, nothing major.

You have the 45 if it doesn't work out so I would try it and see how it works. One would make a nice center piece in a pico I think. I only have 3, one is from a spawn. The baby has moved a few times as it's grown but the other two haven't moved in years.

I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work and your sexy shrimp will love it. My sexy shrimp loved mine.

Those are my thoughts as well.

That's one of the reasons I want one.

Perfectly fine! They don’t need much room. Heres one of mine with some sexy shrimp

 

[Baldyreef]

I definetly agree with everyone else, should be fine and will look awesome

I'm looking at ordering from QCC. Trying to find a cool and unique color.

 

[Baldyreef]

world wide corals has some cool ones right now but their unfortunately on the more expensive side

Are there other reputable places that have cheaper ones?

 

[Baldyreef]

I know saltwater aquarium has some for 120 I think but they are randomized so are the cheaper ones at top shelf aquatics

 

[Baldyreef]

a local lfs might have some

$120 is steep. I got mine for $35 at my local fish store

yeah prices can vary pretty largely with rock flower nems with less common colors or patterns being more money but i agree as far the saltwater aquarium.com price its overpriced

yeah my lfs has managed to breed yellow rfa's and sells them for 100 i think OP's best chance is a lfs

Yellow and orange are rare colors. I almost bought a $120 from WWC. It has insane colors, but I instead bought a bunch of corals during their live sale lol.

My LFS doesn't have unique colors. Or hasn't lately, plus I'd like to try and order something from QCC. I really like Biota, Tidal Gardens is awesome and what experience I have with QCC is good too.

I’ve seen occasionally really cool rock flower nems on tidal gardens before best of luck hope you find an awesome one
