El Guappo's 10G Critter Cornucopia Pic updated Jan 15

Added 3 Bumble Bee Snails yesterday. Budget Updated.


Also wondering if i can remove my turbo snail and recover that little part of the budget? it has been my plan from the get go to have these BB snails and the only reason i added the turbo was i had a algae out break that is now just barely coming under control.

Love the bumble bee shrimps. I'm hoping to find a couple for my pico that houses my sexy's.

Yes... it's alive... you could sell it or put it in another tank so I don't see why wouldn't you be able too?

This would mean that we could take out and replace stock anytime we wanted?

Sure why not? It happens in non contest life all the time? As long as it's not some kinda in and out scam that doesn't simulate real life at all... and people will know and then I'm sure they'll have some words for you, but otherwise I don't see why not??

I mean you could "take something out" when it really died but that's not being honest... just use your best judgment. I think you can generally tell what's acceptable.

What if my other tank crashes and I quickly have to throw a fish few fish in my nano for a few days while I get things sorted out and they die... do I have to deduct them from my budget?? We can simulate a thousand scenarios but I think you just to the best you can to be honest and fair

Just wondering about things like frags/offspring that we can sell/trade out of our tanks???

if i sell some thing like a frag that has grown out of my tank or say baby shrimp can i reintroduce that money back into my tank without it counting against my budget?

The reason i ask is i have noticed my zoas quite rapidly as there is already at least 3-4 new polyps on 1 frag. also i have noticed my sexies and bumble shrimp listen to "Barry White" fairly often ( had no idea they had little nano cd players for shrimp).

Also if frags/offspring are sold/traded within the contest then obviously we would be able to adjust prices accordingly even if the sale was less or more than the original cost.

If frags/offspring are sold/traded outside the contest would we be able to leave our budget as adjusted presale and introduce the "sale money/ new frag" to our tanks under no penalty with records of sale?

Figured i would ask now before its an issue. main reason i ask is i dont know if they are all hithers or what but my snail population seems to be rising exponentially.

i would say no to this due to the fact that it could cause the budget to be endless. on nano-reef it was shot down instanly

No sales from the tank...
