How long should I wait to put my cleaner shrimp into the new tank I set up?

Posted on July 25, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I am making a refugium for my cleaner shrimp: he’s being eaten alive by my overly agressive (or hungry) yellow tang. Shrimp is being taken out of the 55 gal well established tank with all other fish in it and being put into a 5 gallon refugee tank indefinitely.

I set the tank up yesterday, converting a freshwater setup to marine. I am using a live sand bottom with two fairly large (for the size of the tank) pieces of Fiji live rock.

How long should I wait to put the shrimp in? He’s so scared now with the tang picking on him, I want to do it ASAP. There are no other inhabitants of this tank yet, I didn’t even get any little damsels or anything to help with the cycling. Any suggestions?

i won a betta fish at the carnival and i was researching the fish and the care of them, right now he is in a plastic fish bowl, and tomorrow i was going to petsmart to get a new tank and plants and food, i was on the petsmart website and saw that brine shrimp is like 15 dollars!! I am NOT spending that much money on fish food, my freshwater fish have been fine eating fish flakes there entire life, including the guppies that i bought prego and now they are all breeding with each other which im working on seperating them, but anyway cant betta fish eat fish flakes?
I need a really good reason to buy the 15 dollar fish food for them
