2 black sea cucumber for 4ft tank

[ira_one2]

Hi,

Out of impulse I bought 2 black sea cucumber for my 4ft tank which has been running for 2 months. Is this too many? Please advise.

Cheers,

im keeping 2 as well for my 4ft tank..... initially when i bought it, they were around 3inches long. now they've grown more than double their size!!! usually keep them on my sump nowadays, and put them on my main tank one every month for maintenance

Thanks. 1st day in the tank both are doing well and roaming around the tank. So far so good...

do you have any power heads like tunzes in your tank. they love to get themseleves in there. Be careful

i have a couple of tunzes.... they dont bother... but what i hate is they try to rescape my tank that's y i keep them in my refuge/sump n take them when needed

Read topics on how it spill their guts out..literally.. Hope it won't happen to me.

happened to me the first time i moved it out... sticky webs n one accidentally sticked all over my skunk shrimp.... was quite worried w it as it was struggling helplessly, tried to remove it but the shrimp hid behind the rock crevices.... anyway, dont know what it did but the next day just saw it normally grazing ard n the webby gone...

IMO, one per tank is enough.

My tank is bigger than yours... and I used to have 2 black donkey dung cukes.... gave one away to Morgan.... and now my remaining dd cuke has grown also twice its size in no time and so has my tigertail cuke.

You don't want to starve your sea cukes.
