Hello! I have this IM Nuvo 15 in my bedroom that has been running for a few years now. Over the last few months, my sexy shrimp slowly started passing away 1 by 1. Everything in the tank is fine so I looked into their lifespans. 1-2 years is common, up to 3, in captivity. I hit the 2 year mark a few months ago.
There were also 2 Wyoming white clowns, but one mysteriously vanished ~6 months ago. I think my void kitten had something to do with it because I couldn’t find its missing body until a few weeks later. It was under my desk the tank is next to, and the first place I looked once I noticed it was missing. I tried adding in another, much smaller, clown but I think it had been solo for too long.
I’m thinking about selling the clown and 3 RBTA that like to go on walk-abouts every 6 months or so. I was also limited to just soft corals (minus zoas) other than the monti, because the sexy shrimp harassed them too much. They killed off a few zoas before I realized it was them.
So, if you had an empty 15g already stocked with coral and CuC, what would you add in? I have a breeding pair of clowns in my 40b, so looking to avoid more clowns in this one this time. The substrate is crushed coral in this tank, so I do have to keep that in consideration when picking future inhabitants.
