.Newman. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 is the tanksitter a pro photographer? I can't even take such pics of my clowns with my camera o_o Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 just a hobbyist, but he has some cool lenses. These pictures were taken from my camera actually, just an old canon rebel xti. I guess he knew what settings work. oh hey newman, you can see the bird in the back of one of those pics! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 yes the bird is one of the first things i noticed in the pics. it looks aqua-colored in there o_o Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah you're right, it is green in person. My background to the tank is black and it came out blue here. The clown fish came out exactly right though, so did the red mushies. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 either way its got decent color and polyps are out, meaning it will recover in due time Link to comment
Joe Dirt Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Coral update? Beautiful tank, BTW. Link to comment
Felicia Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Mr. Coral has long since been pushing my buttons with his magenta lit coral frag pics. I finally gave in to his marketing efforts and placed an order. All is not well (already) in Mr. Coral land but I placed the order well aware of the issues around this vendor. I just hope that the frags I get are what I picked will keep you posted. My order: LOVE the colors! Good luck! Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Got my monti cap from a forum member. Mr Coral will ship next week. Thanks Dirty. Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yes. I picked them like so, a noticeable difference in size. They've been happy so far, she doesn't bite him, he follows her everywhere. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 she's going to be biting a little as they grow. how big are they now? 3/4" ? Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Question on feeding the baby O's: I'm broadcast feeding cyclopeez daily and new life spectrum crustacean pellets 1mm every 3rd day (mostly target feeding to select corals and the fish get it too). Occasional mysis feeding (the pieces in the frozen cube are too big for my little fish even though they go crazy for it) For such an active fish like the clown, is cyclopeeze enough or do I need to feed more mysis? Also: my fridge decided to go belly up on me, the mysis may have frozen/defrosted/frozen/defrosted several times. Does that mean the batch went bad? Link to comment
kgoldy Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I feed my fish freezer burned stuff and they're all still fat... Look at their bellies. If they sink in, you know you need to feed more. But as for now, it sounds like you're doing alright. Take this time to hand train your little o's pellets. That way you can feed every day without dropping any on the bottom of the tank to rot.

FlCandy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I feed my clowns their pellets with a syringe a few at a time. That way I can make sure they eat them all. I see them miss 1 or 2 in their excitement, but the hermits get that. I have just finished 1 of 2 really freezer burnt table shrimp and they still love it, I mean go crazy. What I do is chop a tiny piece off of the shrimp and then cut it very fine, thaw it i tank water and hand feed them a piece at a time making sure they each get a few. When I feed them I usually feed the pellets for breakfast/lunch and then shrimp before bed, I feed every other day, and they have doubled in size since I got them. Love clowns! Link to comment
