Very nice sharks guys!
Joon, do the sharks bother or try to eat the shrimps and crabs?

no they are actually donig just fine with my shrimp. my smooth hound will rest on the floor and my cleaner shrimp does his job on his gills and same with my blue dot sting ray he lifts up his flap and shrimp go right under. the coral banded shrimp is a dick so they dont mess with him cause he messed with them right back. sad deal was i found my horn shark eating my blue spot sting ray this morning.... and thanks guys i enjoy making videos lol and go pro has made it very easy to film a pond

i did have one more question about smooth hounds... if anyone can help is that when i turn my pumps off he swims normal or what i think is normal. when pumps come on and its a very strong pump he starts head bobbing again. so i changed my return to 3 outlets instead of one and now where there is barely any water movement he is doing nice tight circles but avoids the flow.

my question is do smooth hounds not like alot of flow in the tank? every video i see online of them they are in tanks with what looks like barely any flow. but who knows.

I wouldn't say they prefer low flow, but they will definitely avoid spots with high flow - especially if it's in sharp contrast to the rest of the tank (ie: right in front of return lines).

I'm dropping my temperature down to the mid 60's to see if theres a noticeable difference in the nose bobbing behavior
