| You may need to put some different size shells that is probably why they are fighting. | |

| You must let the rock cure first and usally takes at least 3 weeks or so to complete nitrogen cycle you do know about this yes? By the way if I where you I would get a tank of 20 plus gallons. The bigger the tank the better off you will be in the long run. | |

| the rock is from the lfs its cultured live rock
is there any advantage over cultured and farmed or collected
id think the rock i have didnt realy come with any thing on it to die atleast i cant find any he pulled 1 or 2 snails of the rock when he took it out of the tank
just waiten for Christmas for a bigger tank hopefully at the moment i have $7 kids dont get to much money | |

| Well enjoy your critters. Have you looked on Craigslist for a tank you can find them very cheap when they are available? | |
