AquaticEngineer Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nice looking chitons!! I'm working with ODFW to legalize the commercial harvest of gastropods in Oregon just so I can sell the those, the nudibranchs, and the dorids. We found some monster gumby chitons that were over a foot long last weekend You still gotta hit me up next time you head south so we can go out collecting together! Link to comment

I really think they are pretty. Nice! It might be tough selling the dorids and nudis because of their specific diets, unless you will be selling things like bryzoan along with them. Yeah! Those things are pretty crazy. A little too big for my tank though ha Do you dive or just collect off the shore? Link to comment

A little too big for my tank though ha Do you dive or just collect off the shore? We free dive and hand collect. Also allot of the dorids take fish and anemone for food, which means keeping them long term is simple. In fact my old tank I broke down after two years had them all over the place and they were hitchhikers! Link to comment

A little too big for my tank though ha Do you dive or just collect off the shore? I was planning on starting a couple species only tanks for the dorids and nudis and keeping their food sources in the other systems. I'm gonna try feeding them frozen food sources that and see how they respond. That way I can harvest a large amount of sponge, or bryzoan, or anemones and flash freeze them to keep for longer periods of time. We do a little of both, just depends on what the tides are doing. We like to take adavantage of really low tides that get us access on foot to places that are tough to dive along shore. We tend to do more diving, snorkeling, and free diving in the bays.

Jacobnano Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 So I guess I should post another FTS. I can't believe this tank has been going for so long, almost 2.5 years! Crazy. Expect another FTS in the near future...after I do a water change. Link to comment
