blue linckia

[amethyst212]

ok i went to ft last night and was almost tempted to buy a blue linkia along with the sea hare that i purchased, well it was on sale for 17.99 but of course i have to check with you guys first.

well it was about 4 in across and was very nice in color. well i was thinking of placing him in my 10 gallon.

is this a good idea and is the price right.

i'm not sure how linkia will do in that small a tank. i've always kept mine in 40g or larger.

Definitely not a good idea:

• 10g is too small
• Acclimation should take at least 1hr
• Exact food source unknown
