Hi!

New to the forum, and if I am in the wrong place, kindly redirect me.

I have a 35 gallon hex that I planned on selling. But, plans change

Long story short, I am now the guardian of 7 Northern Pipefish of varying sizes, some crabs I cannot identify, a few snails and hermits, as well as 5 silversides and 1 killifish. They were all caught in a seine net about 6 weeks ago. Everyone told me that they wouldn't survive -- but I took that as a challenge and they are all healthy. However, I am not sure how to keep them that way.

I have sponge filters for filtration, as well as seaweed-encrusted rocks, some oysters, and some macro-algae (I think).

I am moving everyone into a 56 gallon tank -- 30" x 18" X 24" tall.

Any advice?????
Please?????

TIA --
