Territoryy: Fish Vs. Shrimp
Pseudochromis, in my experience are very territorial, especially with non
agressive species.
Mine was terrible on anything new, fish or shrimp.
Good luck!

Metal Halide bulb
Where can I get a fixture/lamp for that bulb?
Any ideas?
I know if I plug this bulb in a regular socket will get damage.
BTW, what's the difference from a regular incandescent fixture to a MH one?
