sknoch78 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Does anyone here local have one of these in there tank? I know Upscales has onre in the cube, but I am curious if anyone has one with inverts. I am thinking of getting a pair for the 240, I would just prefer that did not snack on my shrimp. I have done some research and have got a mixed bag of results, with most saying they are okay. I am just curious what peoples experience has been. Thanks, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 A long time ago I knew a guy that kept one in a 55/70 reef. He use to to feed it baby guppies. I believe this was to keep their eyes off shrimp/inverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I had one in a 46 for over a year. It ate mysis.

B Foxy Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have one in my tank currently... and one before... Never had a single problem... Fav fish in my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknoch78 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Thanks for the input guys. I have been hearing similar reports. It seams that most reef fish if well fed do not tend to eat there tank mates. At least that is what my research has been telling me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknoch78 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Now, when was the last time anyone saw one of these for sale localy? I do not ever remember seeing them other than the one in Upscales cube. I would love to find a pair of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I haven't seen them for sale for awhile either, but if you placed an order with one of the LFS I'm sure they would work with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
