suggest a CLEANER!

by **lisalyn** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:38 pm

good day! new here. may nag refer lang po sakin dito rp. may tank kami 40g FOWLR. 1month namin bago natapos yung cycling. after 1 month naglagay na kami ng 4 nemo clownfish. 1month na din yung 4 nemo (2months palang kami sa hobby na to)

tatanong ko lang po kung anong magandang cleaner para sa tank namin. gusto ko sana yung shrimp na may red sa likod (ano po tawag don?)

ano po ba pinaka-ok na cleaner, mas ok sana kung yung magaling maglinis ng mga poops.

thanks po.

hi po welcome sa RP... specially sa hobby... this links may help you choose kung anung klaseng cleaner type mo... it can be a cleaner shwrimp, btw yung tinatanung mo po is skunk cleaner shimp (lysmata amboinensis) yan po... pero dami pa pong pwede, like yung algae eaters and also detritus (uneaten foods, poops, and other organics) meron pong snail and crabs na reef safe...

here's the link:

thanks for your warm welcome kentpoy.

dun sa 3 (snail, crab, shrimp) ano po mas malaki pakinabang? check ko din yung link.

for algae sir which can be a major problem... i'd go for snails... like nassarius snails (1pc per 4gals or tank volume) and turbo snail (1 pc per 20gals of tnak volume)...

pero okay din detritus eaters yung skunk cleaner shrimp which was yung tinatanung mo... atleast 2pcs para pair sila...

ok sila kahit sama-sama... those that i mentioned lang sir ha... hehehe

yung snails and skunk cleaner shrimp po bibilihin ko. dapat po ba 2 yung shrimp? yung snail po ano mas maganda ko bilihin? turbo o nassarius?

hindi po ba makakadagdag ng sobra sa bioload kung masyado na sila madami? ilan po dapat ko idagdag na shrimp at snail? thanks

maliit lang naman po yan not bad na po... bale yung sa snails ang differencekase nilang dalawa, yung nassarius snail is good for the sand, kase mag bburried sila sa sand to eat detritus.... cute pa... and yung turbo snail sa rock and sa glass naman sila mas okay... though dipa ko nakakakita ng turbo snail, kase yung binebenta sa cartimar is turban snail w/c they call turbo snails... sa fev marine daw meron kaso dipa ko nakaka visit dun...

about sa shrimp naman, di naman po sila masyado makaka dagdag sa bio-load tutal medyo kalakihan naman tnk mo sir eh, pwede naman kahit isa lang... the good thing having 2pcs is para mag pair sila then mag mate, para yung magiging anak nila ay magiging pagkain ng LiveStocks mo like your nemos... you can't breed them in the tank kase foods lang yung labas nun... sa different tank ginagawa yung breeding, though mating is not hard sir, kase hermaproditic sila, which means na kahit sino sa kanila pwede maging pregnant... hehehe, sometime sabay pa nga sila eh... cuteness...

hehehe sorry ms. lisa pala...

yung turban naman po ok lang din... 5 pesos yun sa carti, bale ang main prob lang dun kapag natihaya daw di na makakabangon and madededz na lang daw, though di ko pa na encounter yun, sa akin lang siguro i wan't to try kung gano kabilis yung turbo snail, kase na try ko na yung turban nakaklinis din anman, though may katagalan, kaya siguro ang per piece ratio niya is 1 per 5 gals of the tank volume...

then yung cleaner shrimp naman po kahit sa susunod na lang yung isa... hehehe... pricing range nun kase is 100-250... serti na yung 100 na may kalakiha, or 150 na malaki...

btw, yung nassarius snail po pala sa fev marine din nabibili, wala nun sa cartimar...

by **lisalyn** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:53 pm

hehehe ok lang.

di ko po alam yung fev marine. sana mura lang yung turbo at nassarius.

2 shrimp muna bibilihin ko sa cartimar pag nakaalis ako. di ko pa kasi alam fev marine.

hehe, never been there... pero sa may cubao po yun malapit sa camp crame... diko pa na try puntahan, pero dun galing yung nassarius snail ko 10pesos each, maliit lang naman yun cute pa... hehehe... free delivery lang ni sir ritchie kase may dinaanan siya dito malapit sa place ko... sa may bahay ni sir sea turtle... hehehe...

try mo na lang din po yung turban snail, if wala kang time bumisita sa fev marine... ok lang din naman, the more the marrier nga lang para mabilis nila malinis yung tank mo...
