wombat Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That's pretty great that he's picking at pellets. I hate to be a Danny Downer, but he definitely doesn't look fat. The musculature behind his head around the lateral line is severely pinched in and the area behind his belly looks pinched in too. He may have a swollen belly, but loss of muscle in these areas demonstrates that he has gone undernourished for a long time. It is really hard to get fish back to a healthy state from this point. I hope he keeps up the feeding so he can recover completely! One of my all time favorite fish. Link to comment
wombat Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting bit of trivia about this species: http://www.aquaticinvasions.net/2011/Suppl...alameh_etal.pdf It is known only from the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman. Last year a juvenile was caught in the Mediterranean for the first time, near Israel where there are of course no coral reefs and certainly no Acropora. So it looks like at least one individual was capable of sustaining itself in the wild without its "obligate" food source. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well sadly we won't have a chance to observe this individual further because after getting over ich last week he and my two clowns contracted brooklynella. I caught the butterfly yesterday morning to treat him when I got home for the day. He was ill but certainly vey alive when I caught him but dead by 12pm. I lost one clown and the other is on her way out even with treatment. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Looks great! What happened to the cuttles? I didn't look back... I don't really know what happened to them. The water was perfect and they were all eating live mysis (which were expensive...) and they slowly died off. I mean the only thing I can come up with is that they were just an unhealthy bunch from the clutch of eggs. I'll do them again one day when I can set up yet another tank . Link to comment
