Coral Banded and Hareliquin

deaclauderdale · 01-28-2007, 03:41 AM

Can CB's and Hareliquins coexist in the same tank? And if not how do I catch the CB?

Yes, well at least a have done it in a 29 gal & keep those harls feed well.

I got a 100 gal system so terrotiry should not be an issue. Just wanted to make sure. What is a good feeding schedule for them?

I have kept cleaner skunk shrimp successfully with my harlequin pair but had to remove a fire shrimp because it was harrassing them. I have no experience with coral banded shrimp.

Plan on feeding your harlequin one starfish per month... more often if there are two and as they grow. I probably feed my large pair of harlequins one medium-large chocolate chip star every 3 weeks.

Hareliquins eat one thing... starfish and they are brutal, they will flip it over and eat it slowly over a period of a up to a couple months, they will actually bring food (that they will not eat) to the star just to keep it alive until they have devoured it completely, cool in a dimented kind of way. The coral banded are much more peaceful in comparrison and should have no problem getting along with the hareliquins.

$6-8$ per starfish. I usually buy 3 at a time and keep them in my sump until needed.
