Don't they jump a lot? I don't want to come home to some dried fish jerky after a long vacation. I'm also afraid that they will borough under my rockwork and cause my aquascape to tumble since it's not glued. I rescaped recently but I did pres the sand all the way down to the bottom piece of acrylic but I'm still kinda scared
Ooo I want a sea cucumber I heard they work great, sand sifting stars would be cool too, I'll do some research and see if my lfs carries them
How many sea cucumbers do I need for my tank? Is 1 good enough? Do the sea cucumbers need to be fed or are they good just working away? Do they stay above the sand bed or do they sometimes go below?Cucumber all the way, they eat a ton of sand and don't make a mess like gobies
I've never fed mine but my sandbed is 10yrs established. Honestly I'm not sure how you could even feed them. I have one in my 5' 112 gallons tank and he covers the whole tank no problem. Stays on top of the sand and just eats and poops sand all day
Double edge sword huh? Lol but is it an eyesore? Is it big poop balls or like pellets. If it's small and unnoticeable I can live with it I hate algae covered sand beds soo much
Sounds like a welcomed critter in my tank. I'll look around for them now, this might seem like a dumb question but do they need to be quarantined? Or straight in the tank is fine
One. They generally stay above the bed, and stir it up same time. You might not see it for a few days or even weeks and then there they are again.
Oh thanks for the heads up I would have freaked out if I didn't see him for weeks after you guys say they stay above the sand bed
Definitely pellet size. They have loads of character with there big human like eyes (obviously not as big haha)
I think we have the same species.... love watching this dude pick up sand and work it!
Cute guys, how many conchs should I get? Don't want to overload on these guys but I don't want to get too little
Yes to jump.
