metrokat Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Very nice pictures Yoshi, Altos inhabitants look amazing. I would have liked to see how a fat and happy male mandarin looks to compare mine to. Somebody clean that glass. Or post a side picture. I'm always worried that mine is not getting enough to eat even though I have not seen any signs of a sunken belly or lateral spine or whatever. However the only 'fat' pictures I have seen on these forums are females carrying eggs which is of no help. Okay nobody quote that! Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 My male actually isn't fat. He has some kind of intestinal parasite so no matter how much I feed him he doesn't gain weight. He still spawns though so it doesn't seem to matter. As long as your mandarin's belly sticks out a little and you can't see his spine he's fine. Link to comment

Since mine started eating the rods He is always chunky. Even when he has been just cruising around all day (Mondays and Wednesdays I work 8-8) chowing pods he is fat. Pretty proud of my little Fat @$$. Your Male is just awesome, he likes to say hi. Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 This tank is so awesome! Yoshii is right, it should be TOTM. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 So I just changed the bulbs a few minutes ago. OMG you will not believe how much brighter and bluer the tank looks. I'm actually kinda scared the corals might bleach, it's that bright! Link to comment

I'm actually kinda scared the corals might bleach, it's that bright! You might want to shorten your light cycle just to help them acclimate. New bulbs can be coral killers... Link to comment

Thanks, I'll go do that now. I figured that would be a god idea. I reduced the 10k light from 9.5 hours a day to 7 hours a day and left the actinic at 11 hours a day. That should be good right?

I reduced the 10k light from 9.5 hours a day to 7 hours a day and left the actinic at 11 hours a day. That should be good right? I would bring the 10k to 6 hours and the the actinic to 8 hours at least for a week. Link to comment
