ira_one2 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reefer guy Posted January 19, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 19, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
