Ok, so I’m hoping the third time is the charm. I’ve just added my third Cleaner Shrimp to 75 gallon aquarium. The first was brutally murdered by a renegade Clownfish. The second Cleaner Shrimp was abducted by aliens apparently.
Actually, I’m hoping that he is hiding somewhere. I added a cleaner shrimp to my aquarium last week and I’m not seeing him anywhere at the moment. He might be hiding or maybe he’s gone?
I recently wrote about a Blue Tang that I added to the aquarium that developed a case of popeye in the first few days I had him. He did come through, so that’s a good thing! But, I’ve been continuing my research into this particular illness and have found a few tidbits I’d like to share.
It’s probably any aquarium owners nightmare. You have a healthy aquarium. It’s in good balance. Things are working well, you’re feeling good about your aquarium. Then, for some reason, you decide you need to add another fish to an already balanced equation. The new fish is added to the tank and it gets sick! What to do?
I’m not sure how I made it this long without knowing about Mantis Shrimp. Holy crap. These things are crazy. I’ve recently begun to browse a few videos on YouTube that showcase some Mantis Shrimp and I’m kinda creeped out.
There are a lot of different things that I’ve done to my aquarium over the years to improve it. Some upgrades worked out better than others. All of the upgrades have gotten reactions from the fish and inhabitants. Which one made them the most happy?
