Hi everyone
I'm preparing to introduce some blue gobies to my tank and want to make sure they get enough biofilm / algae to eat.
I've got a lot of shrimp right now so this could be a challenge! Mort's experience suggests the gobies may get by on other types of food, but I'd like to be ready in case mine turn out to be less adaptable.
The plan is to grow lots of palatable algae (ie non BBA) on rocks in a separate tank / container outside of the main tank so that I can add them to the main tank as needed. How can I do this most efficiently? I'm minded to use these glass containers I got as a freebie, put them in the window with some tank water and see what happens...but perhaps there are more optimum conditions?
Has anyone got advice/thoughts on the best setup? I'm keen to get this right before I take the plunge.
