Finally added first live stock!!

[ItouchedThebutt]

So kinda just an update on my tank but a huge mile stone for me! I finally added my first tank mates! I got 1 astrea snail (sry if i spelled it wrong) 1 blue leg hermit crab with a few extra shells and my first fish witch is a Swales Swissguard basselet. Im so happy.
Does any one have any experience with this fish that they can tell me or any pointers hes going in my 10 gallon aquarium.

I will once i get a chance i just added him so hes kinda shy and hiding! But the crabs and snail are not so much they are just going to town on everything.

 

[ItouchedThebutt]

So side note.. Somehow i wanted one blue legged hermit crab and ended up with three....

 

[Katrina71]

Because you need at least 3 to thrive. I assume they are like land crabs. We have had those for 8 years.

 

[Katrina71]

They are really fun to watch.

Well i told the guy i want 1 one snail and 1 blue legged hermit to start off but i need a few empty shells for the crab to grow into.. Well two of those shells were not empty now i have 3 hermits

 

[Katrina71]

Enjoy them.

That's actually how I got my scarlet hermit. Grabbed some shells I assumed had snails in them, being stuck to the glass in the snail tank and all. Got home and saw his little red legs poking out. I'm a big fan of crabs, though personally not too big on the hermits.

Well im just worried that theres not enough food for the 3 of em in a beginning tank and i dont want them going for the snail or my coral.

Sorry it took so long but i didnt forget about showing you guys my new addition it just literally took this long for this guy to start swimming in the open. Hes very shy. But i call him nova. Sorry for the quality in advance.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Pretty fish.

 

[ItouchedThebutt]

I

Pretty fish.[/QUOTE i love him. Just wish he wasnt so shy. But its funny watching him swim from one rock to the other. Like he has his own tunnle system.
