hey jimmyz thats a good advice.. making sure the fishes are already feeding...the rational is that fishes that are already feeding are stable fishes..and stable fishes will most probably tahan the 'lfs tank to your tank tranfer process' but not all lfs owner will do that for you.......they will ofcource say yes to make a sale any one encounter lfs showing u their fishes are already eating ?? is yes which one ??

thks for the response guys, jimmyz can u let me know how u intro them into yr tank ? i mean how u acclimatised them, what u did and the duration of the process...

hi QV, 1st & 2nd are Dispars and 3rd is Randall are thay sensitive type ? then which is not or are thay all difficult ??

hi bros and siss is the anthias species so difficult to keep ?? got them on 3 occassions first - only live in my tank for 15 mins - looks like gasping for air and in a vertical position and then just died. 2nd try - also live for about 15 mins - had what looks like a fit , jerking its body 3 continuos times and then motionless dead. 3rd try - situation like the first one, but looks ok after 30 mins but hiding, but next day dead on the sand. I do not want to give up in keeping anthias, can anyone with success with these fish give some advice. I acclimatise them the normal way - floating bag for 30 mins and even a drip for 30 mins b4 putting it in the tank. no QT though.

thks for the info QV CT good idea .........will try yr suggestion......thks

hey letdoit , hv u done it ?? the research thks for the info.... anyone with experience in dealing with these pest of a crab b4 ? pls let me know cause I do not want them to grow bigger and cause bigger problem. will they ?

Erm, think your shrimp is proberbly dead or dying before your crab got it. Don't think a crab can grab a shrimp 4 times its size that easily..... smile.gif yup most probably but got 3 previous shrimps and they all MIA no bodies must ask CSI team to check any fishes eats crABS....what about trigger fishes ??

hi guys i need advice from you regarding crabs in my tank the problem is that there are crabs in my tanks that are killing my shrimps no wonder my shrimps keep doing the vanishing acts. caught 1 small crab doing its evil deed just now (for me, for the crab i guess its survival). the thing is the shrimps is 4 times the lenght of the crabs and it still manage to drag and overpower the poor shrimp into its little hole . my question is how can i get rid ot the crabs cause I want to keep shrimps in my tank I think that there are a few of them in there . I know some crabs are good for yr tank for eating algae and eating leftovers from feeding but this one definitely is not.
