Shrimp - Too Many

[brians_224]

Thanks for reading.

I have a very young tank - 5 weeks.

Everything has been going well. Two weeks ago I added a camel shrimp. My plan was to add a skunk cleaner shrimp later. But I noticed an Aiptasia anemone, and i see more sprouting. I heard pepperment shrimp eat them. Can my tank supprt 3 shrimp? Or should I just opt for some of that joes juice?

i've read that camel shrimp aren't reef safe,don't know if your tank is going to be a reef or fo or fowler. in any case your tank is young and i wouldn't add the other shrimp i would do the juice thing.

just out of courisity, what is your water condition,

salinity
ammonia
nitrite
nitrate
ph

is the tank done cycling? is everything at 0 if so then you might be able to add the pep shrimps. but jmo would just do the juice thing to kill the aiptasia. i hope i'm not confusing you, i sometimes ramble on and on

Thanks.

I figure i'm some sometime off before I get corals, so I thought we'd enjoy the camel in the meantime. :)

I thought Joe Juice was a prbably the right way to go, but I'd rather attempt natural means vs 'chemical'. I'll try some joes.

yeah i usually like natural vs chemical, but i've heard this is safe.
