Hi Guys,
I'm buying a pair of harlequin shrimps in a couple of days,So i'm trying to get as much as info i can for keeping them,Would appreciate if anyone can answer my questions:
1. what water conditions they need to live in, (I know cleaner shrimps are very sensitive to alkinity changes) my alkinity was a bit low and i'm trying to raise it for the past month , but it really takes long to get it right, mine is about 6 (not quiet sure) and the PH is about 8 (i think it should be a bit lower)
2. How to feed them (I'm planing to keep them in my RSM 130 with my other fishes, maroon clown, yellow tang , regal tang, mono angel) do i just need to put the cushion star fish in the tank and they'll find them and eat them? or i need to move them somewhere along with the cushions in order to get them to eat?
3. how often i've to feed them?
4. are they sensible to nitrate? (I'm having a problem with nitrate also for long time and trying to get it lower but haven't succeeded yet)
Really appreciate any helps.
