Red Brittle Stars are one of the hobby's best detritus eaters and sand aerators. They come in multiple shades of red that will bring color to the aquarium bottom. Their ability to get into nooks and crannies allows them to consume much of the food and fish waste that accumulates there. Their legs are covered in small spines that they use to aid in finding food. These spines will not harm you but still always use caution when handling. Add these into an aquarium with plenty of live rock to hide during the day, and they will come out at night to do clean up. Even though these sea stars are excellent scavengers, their diet should be supplemented with finely chopped meaty items.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
If we need to contact you for any reason about your order, shipping of your package may be affected. Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email with your order summary. Orders are subject to verification of payment information by phone or email. We ship for arrival to the customer Tuesday through Friday and Saturday for an extra charge where available.

I have bought an odessa barb about a month ago. About 2 weeks ago she started to form a sandlike, white "bump". I then treated the tank for ich, but now my barb has three areas where its red under the white thing. The white bump is more like flesh, i think. Help?..
