D3monic Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yea thats all they had where males. They jawfish is visible in the open now he sticks his head out and watches things. Link to comment
D3monic Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 We decided to name him Grover because he acts like a dog=rover and my wife thinks he looks like a muppet. So Grover it is. Hes actually out exploring the tank right now. I dont want to take any pics of him for fear I will scare him back into seclusion. Here is one as he is starting to get brave. Link to comment
D3monic Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Picked up a regular Female scooter this afternoon. Shes pretty plump and very active. Male is allready trained to the food dish. Stupid Grover is guarding it though. Keeps tryign to run him off. Check out the thread on my 75gal sand flats tank idea. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=211723 Link to comment

Paleoreef103 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So you finally got another mandarin up to your standards? Pictures? Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 No not yet... =( Im on the look out though. I have a cute female scooter who desperatly wants me to find her a mate though. Every night she goes nuts looking for a mate zipping back and forth in the water column. Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Got a Scooter spawn tonight! 11-17-09 surprisingly at the same time my Mandarins would spawn 9:30ish pm. Unlike the Mandarins eggs these are positively buoyant and stayed in their strands thankfully. Made for a easy collection. Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oops broke the link... Here's the deleted pic and a new one. Oddly the Ocellatus eggs possess a oil globule. Spledidus eggs did not possess a oil globule. Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Fertilization confirmation. Egg development slowed due to low temps of hatching container. 17 Hours post spawn. Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I got another spawn today. Managed to catch it on tape. Link to comment
eswong Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So did you lose your Mandarins? If not are they still spawning? Were you able to grow any out? Link to comment
zemuss Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hey Demonic how u feeling? Everything good now? Eye sight? Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 So did you lose your Mandarins? If not are they still spawning? Were you able to grow any out? I lost all my fish in the great holocaust several months ago. ALL my fish. Hey Demonic how u feeling? Everything good now? Eye sight? Eyes sight is back to normal. Still run the risk of developing MS. I refused to take the interferon medications. Mainly because of cost. 30k a year without insurance. I have insurance but still out of my price range.

eswong Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 What is this great holocaust you speak of? I read through your thread did I miss something? Link to comment
D3monic Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 When collecting a Mandarin spawn I left the pumps off to feed the coral....I woke up the next morning realizing I left the pumps off. All the fish exept a bangaii where dead. I took this video of them spawning that night not realizing it was the last time I would see them alive. Link to comment
