yoshii Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, definitely drip What kind of slug is it? WE NEED PICS Link to comment
Squared Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Not entirely sure what kind, but it is dark brown and darker brown splotches. Drip acclimating it right now. Link to comment
yoshii Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 You bought it without knowing what it eats? Link to comment
Squared Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 was told it eats GHA. the LFS had a 7" one that was returned after 2mos in someone else's tank. Link to comment
yoshii Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 was told it eats GHA. the LFS had a 7" one that was returned after 2mos in someone else's tank. Hmmm. What does it look like? (Color, form, etc?) Link to comment
Squared Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 lots of white, brown and black spots, to frills on the back, two protruding nodes on the front end, and two more nodes on the top of the head. Link to comment
yoshii Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Mmm does it look like this? http://www.justjulieb.com/wp-content/uploa...nudibranch3.jpg Link to comment
Squared Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 not even close...like the one on live aquaria (not the lettuce nudi like yours). Link to comment
Squared Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 phosphate: .25ppm nitrate: 0ppm kh: 8 dkh calcium: 400ppm ph: 7.8 added kh & ph buffer Link to comment
montipora Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 not even close...like the one on live aquaria (not the lettuce nudi like yours). Is it a Sea Hare? If it is then he should take care of your algae problems, just make sure to find him a new home once he's done or he will starve. Link to comment
Squared Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I havn't seen the slug for a couple of days. No body, no ink, to sign of nutrient spike, algea has not been eaten, algea has not grown, it's as if it was never there. if it's dead i'll get an urchin. Link to comment
yoshii Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Could just be hiding.. Did it get sucked into a PH or filter or something? Link to comment
Squared Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 slug is nowhere to be found, so i will presume it dead. but i bought a really pretty tuxedo urchin today! it is still acclimating, but it is of the orange/white variety. Link to comment
Squared Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 nothing new...except that i've lost a few sps, because of the urchin and shrimp. one got stung by my frogspawn. my torch is dying as well. Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 nothing new...except that i've lost a few sps, because of the urchin and shrimp. one got stung by my frogspawn. my torch is dying as well. aw, i'm sorry! i had the same thing happen with my torches a few months ago, it's so sad Link to comment
Squared Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I think it's because I havn't been feeding it. Will try not to do that to my frogspawn (which is getting pretty big). Link to comment
Kazooie Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 That's too bad. Sorry about the losses. Otherwise, the last fts was looking pretty good! Link to comment
