What Other Critters Are Housed With Your Carpet ?

427HISS · Feb 9, 2017

My wife and I have had a beautiful,....neon Green Haddi Carpet, along with a BTA, that have a paired perc's to make their home with. The Haddi ate our Purple spot goby. A fellow reefers Carpet ate the Clown that were buddies for two years !

We bought another Haddi Green Carpet that is in QT.

So, we planed on putting at least the second Carpet in our in wall 125g mixed reef, butI'm not so sure anymore, as we'll have several small fish in the tank.

We also thought of creating a Clown fish harum in a 93g cube, with BTA's andthe other Carpet, but I'm not sure about that now either ?

So, what can we do ?

Should we get a real large,......Clown fish so it's not dinner ?

What other critters do you have with your Carpet ?

Please post pics and vids.

Honestly, feeding them regularly, and making sure that there is plenty of room for the other inhabitants to avoid him, and tons of hiding places that are not near Mister Zappy are the best bits of advice I could find, with these guys.

Emphasis on feeding them.

Vendor sent me a HUGE carpet that I had to stuff in my tiny tanks on the Fish Wall, and it ate at least $20 of damsels

I'm concerned the little fish's will wonder into the Carpet.

When I first touched him, I was AMAZED,......how fast and sticky he is !

Other than real large fish, I don't see any other's escaping the sticky and sting

There has to be other critters to include in a Carpet tank.
