whats the deal on items that breed in your tank. say for instance i do manage to yeild a few offspring from the eggsac of my pompom. can i sell these and use the money from the sale to reinvest into my tank???

Just figured i would ask in the off chance i get some young snails or shrimp.

Well if these arnt the most mysterious critters ever. i dont think a whole lot is really known about them , but in the time i have set this tank up i have learned a few things. Like a pom pom with no nems will use things such as zoas in replacement.

I really should not have added fish to this tank and done a nocternal theme. the craziest stuff happens under moon lights. for instance i saw one of my bumble bee shrimp mount the other, and tonight i thought one og my pompoms was using a bristle worm for a nem and upon later inspection he was eating the bristle. great unexpected suprise.

All 3 crabs had 2 nems when i bought them and since have gone from 6 nems (2 each ) to 3 total and now back up to 5 nems. i have never seen one split its nem but it seems to me that they will fight for what nems are being carried by another.

Just a few fun facts i have come to notice.

You responsible for the colony.

We already went over the re-introduction of cash to the budget. Not Allowed.
