Urchin for sale

[Furbz]

i have a black urchin i swopped for a piece of coral for sale.
reason for selling: i already have a long spined urchin in my tank that is devastating my coraline algae.
i think 2 is to much!!!

will happily swop for a nice frag

lol, he's a cool urchin... :yeahdude:

 

[mike Bushie]

he is definitely cool. but need to sell jumping bean before i think of an urchin

 

[Furbz]

how about a swopout of sorts?

 

[mike Bushie]

well how much did you buy the urchin for?

 

[Furbz]

i didnt. i got it as part of a swop for carination coral and 2 sun coral heads.
just a question before we take this further.. can you keep 2 jumping beans in 1 tank? or will hell break loose?

 

[mike Bushie]

ask one of the more senior guys i am not sure i think it depends on the size of your tank

 

[Furbz]

hey guys, i have a 200l tank. would keeping 2 jumping beans be a bad idea???
everytime i see them in the pet store they are all in different tanks. never together... would hell break loose if i put 2 in the same tank?

 

[Furbz]

just thinking about it, my tank is small and i'd like to keep it diverse. soz mike.

 

[mike Bushie]

no worries mate

thanx warr.
urchin still up for grabs.
all offers welcome

 

[mike Bushie]

if he is still around next month i will look at buying him depending to the price you want for him.

 

[Furbz]

i'm not looking for much, would you swop a frag for him or would you want to pay cash for him?

 

[mike Bushie]

um probably cash. we will talk next month if he his still with you:yeahdude:

 

[Furbz]

alright cool

 

[Furbz]

guru's.
i have a friend who has a really bad algae breakout due to shoddy lighting he had running. (hair algae, macro etc)
would an urchin eat this algae?
or do they only eat coraline?

 

[leslie hempel]

urchins will eat a variety of agae including corraline.. they are fast growers and are even capable (when bigger) of dislodging rockwork). i definatley will be putting 2 in my tank but will be keeping an eye on the.. in general a good thing to have...
