Tank and Population

Post by p2gg86 » Thu Aug 16, 2018 11:36 pm

Hi all,

Recently I have rescued two more PPs. After a good close-up mite inspection and a dechlorinated msw bath, I added them into my 29g tank which is my main tank. Now the population in the main tank is 6 total, 2 PPs and 4 Es. I know this is overstocking but I have no other option. I have an ISO 10g with a molting down for almost 2 months which is a PP (the reason why I rescued the 2 PPs for species buddy). What I planned to do is separate the two species between the tanks. Is it okay to add the 2 new PPs into the ISO with the molting or I should wait for him to finish up his molt? For the case, if I can't move the PPs, will it be ok for awhile with overstocking situation?

Also, the two new PPs need names!! Name suggestions are welcomed! :cheer:
They are about the same size yet one with way bigger pincer then other!ImageImageImageImage
