Haddoni carpet nem harder to keep than bta?

[LesPoissons]

Hey guys,
Interested in adding some nem varieties to my tank. I have a 220g w 2btas and a tube nem and an lta in my sump. Wanted to explore getting a Haddoni. Are they more difficult to keep than other nems?

Yes, but not super hard. They need more light than a BTA and will be more sensitive to higher levels of building blocks. Carpets require care like the most sensitive softies like Z*P that will melt if you slack off on your maintenance. Carpets can (and do) catch fish. All of this said, I put them on the list of medium difficulty items.

Mags and Gigs are the hardest. They are very tempting since they are impressive and very beautiful, but they need the most light and the water that is most near NSW type of levels.
