lol cant tell. It's about a month away from getting started. Been researching for several months before I make this leap. I am about 2 weeks from ordering the tank. But here's a hint, I havent seen many on this site.

I could start the thread now but you know how people get about threads without pics, don't you am? wink.gif

maby were all just a little needy and you should make us wait for them.
violinist
No we're not. It's been 3 and a half hours, post the pics!
Bongo Shrimp
I actually decided to put them in the lagoon for now, go here if you want to see them --->

Well today my yellow feather star, and one of the orange feather stars got a little tangled up. I mean this by they got a few of their sticky arms stuck together. So I did go in and untangle things but we inadvertently lost a few tips of and one long arm of the yellow feather star. I'm sure they will grow back since they did a while back on my orange feather star.

Anyhow, I have a cool video coming of the yellow guy eating before I noticed they were tangled up.

Here's a pic in the mean time of what was left on my finger after I freed then up.

Note to self, dont put two feather stars in the same tank. Well I will probly never get one anyways lol.

Sorry that happened. There nothing worse than when you see two of your pets causing each other grief.
Bongo Shrimp
I don't think they meant it, and they probably could have gotten away by them selves. I've had them in the sam tank for quite a while now and I saw them do this before but before I could intervene, they had already undone themselves.
animalmaster6
Glad they are alright happy.gif

Awesome! Favorited it!
Bongo Shrimp
Thanks master.
Bongo Shrimp
Some close up feather star pics-

See those white spiky things clinging to the rock? Those are the feather star's legs. Kinda creepy looking- like white bone.


If you look closely, you can see two baby arms growing back.


Basket star:


Spiral Coral, look how much it has grown!
animalmaster6

Beautiful video! I love the feather stars.

The spiral coral is great too. I actually saw one at an LFS a couple of weeks ago listed as a gorgonian. I almost grabbed it, but I have no idea what it's special requirements are. Hopefully they'll still be available somewhere when I've got a bit more experience in general. Congrats on getting yours to grow so well!
Bongo Shrimp
Thanks everyone!

About the spiral coral, mine eats just about anything. The tissue is so thin that I can see through it and what it has eaten. I've seen it eat just about everything from frozen mysis and cyclopeeze (it loves those the best) to even dried foods like microcrab pellets (although I'm sure that isn't the healthiest thing for it to eat. I also belive it is non photosynthetic.
Bongo Shrimp
WOOOOH!!!

My Copper Cardinal Fish successfully spawned last night!

It's a mouthful:


Squared
That is awsome! Are you going to raise the offspring?
Bongo Shrimp
I might try if I can even catch the male out of the DT.
animalmaster6
Congratulations!!!!!
Bongo Shrimp
Caught him!

Now he's in a mesh breeder net. We'll see what happens. I'm just taking things as they come right now since I have no idea what I'm doing... And neither does anyone else really.
hlander
Check out marinebreeders Im thinking about breeding pearly jawfish or bangaii cardinals if I can find a breeding pair.
Bongo Shrimp
I'm looking for a banggai pair. I feel like with them it's like- throw them in, watch them spawn, the feed the young. It's supposed to be easy. They would go in the Lagoon though.
animalmaster6
ohmy.gif Bangaii's eat small shrimp though. Don't they?
Bongo Shrimp
Well sometime between 12:30AM and 3:30PM, the male dropped the eggs. I put the ones I could collect into a makeshift tumbler but I'm not sure if it's too late already. We'll see.

Bongo Shrimp u are my hero flower.gif
Bongo Shrimp
Woah, going a tiny bit over board there. But thank you.
TheBlueLorax
No was disrespect intended Just sheer admiration sleep.gif
Squared
Nanobuds had a bangaii that killed a harlequin shrimp...bongos are half the size of harlequins.
Bongo Shrimp
Ok, I might reconsider...
animalmaster6
Bangaii's are really cool... But we don't want that great shrimp collection of yours randomly disappearing one day!
Bongo Shrimp
Yeah, wish I knew how to sex yashia gobies...
Nemo Niblets
Banghai's are the most boring fish alive.
Bongo Shrimp
I just like them cause they are so easy to breed.
Squared
What about neon gobies?

Yeah but I already have ONE paired with a pistol. It's not like I can get him out.
bitts
yeah but a pair well thats like cheating.
Squared
So you want a pair for your lagoon? I don't think there is any way to sex these gobies. But there is still lots of other gobies that can be bred.
Bongo Shrimp
Yeah but I really was hoping to find something that could be bred IN the DT that is relatively easy.
animalmaster6
Mandarin?
Bongo Shrimp
You can just let 'em go and the young could be raised to sellable age IN the DT? Not to sound rude but, I don't think so.

lol I didn't know. Was just trying to give you some ideas.
Bongo Shrimp
Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll research them a little. You know, once I get my new 1g fuge set up and running on my reef, I will most likely try to get a pair of flaming prawn gobies in there.
