freddy4130 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 professional help!!! My sexy is not eating (pellets). Well, I have never seen him eat. It has been exactly a week since he went in. Should I take him back? Remember, I paid $20 for the joker. Should I get different food? WTD? If taking him back is the best idea, how the world would I catch him? Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 My sexies finally arrived. they are acclimating right now, so pics soon. Waitin' on those pics. professional help!!!

WTD? If taking him back is the best idea, how the world would I catch him? Don't panic! Haha, chances are he is scavenging off the rocks and simply isn't hungry when you present a pellet. Do you have any other foods to try, like flake or mysis? Quote Link to comment
stan-o Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Where is the best place to order sexies online? No-one here in DFW has them, and I have some time off between Christmas and New Year to be at home to accept a shipment. Thanks! Stan-O Quote Link to comment
Obi Juan kenobi Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I just got 3 of them Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Where is the best place to order sexies online? You can probably ask one of your LFSs to order them for you, but ask how much they would charge. LiveAquaria sells them for $10, but then you've got to pay shipping. Also on ebay I believe. I just got 3 of them Cute pic! Quote Link to comment

star27624 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here is the only one that is where I can get a pic. The other 3 are doing good so far, they're just hanging out in places that the camera can't catch decently. Quote Link to comment
schaferfred Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Really digging this club thread. Wealth of info. By the way Lalani your avatar is freakin' hilarious. The Office...right? Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Cute pic star! And thanks schaferfred! As soon as I can make myself do it, I'm going to add more info and pics to the first page of the thread, maybe some useful links too. The av is from Arrested Development, I believe. It's temporary, a jab at somebody else on the forum. Quote Link to comment

hcsceo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So I'm looking at my tank this morning and my largest Sexy is doing something I've never seen it do. It has its tail between the legs and is scratching at it with the back legs. Been watching him now for about an hour do this. Could she be laying eggs? This shrimp is about 8 months old and I've never witnessed this behavior. Steve Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yup, she's either preparing for, laying, or tending to a batch of eggs. Look really closely and you can most likely see the little (probably) green eggs. Quote Link to comment
hcsceo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sorry for the crappy pic all I have is my iphone. Man why couldn't this happen after christmas? I'll be off the next two days but back friday. Quote Link to comment
hcsceo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I see she is sticking her feet under a few "pockets" in her back area. Maybe she is molting also. I think I've got a macro lens and a cannon body somewhere. I'm going to go find it. Steve Quote Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) So I have my stock up to 10 Sexies in the BC8 now. One came free with an Ricordea Mushroom that I got with five large heads that's was labeled a green hairy mushroom for $39, btw came with a cling-on Sexy, what a steal! How many more can I add? Current Stock: 10 Sexies, 2 Firefish, 2 Hermits, 2 small snails, one Algae Goby. Edited December 23, 2008 by Nor_Cal_Cuber Quote Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 . . . . Feeding them is surprisingly easy and requires very little time. I feed mine with shrimp pellets every other day. I happen to use Omega One Shrimp Pellets (quite disturbing if you really think about it) and they absolutely love it. But really, any pellets will do. . . . Isn't that fresh water food, seems like a bad choice for feeding? Algae builder? Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 How many more can I add? Good job on the freebie sexy! You can add as many as you want, as long as they don't look crowded, really. And what is an algae goby exactly? Isn't that fresh water food, seems like a bad choice for feeding? Algae builder? If that is the type el fabuloso uses, it doesn't seem to have any negative effects on his pico tank. Quote Link to comment

arwndsh Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sorry, Still a n00b: Algae Blenny Please remove this fish before it starves. They get to several inches long and will be way too big for your tank in no time. In the 8 gallon tank the two firefish are enough in the way of fish. Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 ^What she said. Quote Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 There is a LOT of algae in the tank so he will be feed for a bit. I have a 12g reef with 2 Clowns, 1 Royal Dottyback, 1 Mandarin Goby, and a Cleaner Shrimp as well as crabs and snails. My 34g tank is aggressive, just started it with Damsels and a Yellow Spotted Puffer so I think the 12 would be the only suitable home if there is enough room for his bio load. The tank is skimmed.
