metrokat Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 ya think ? Yup, you've come a long way from plastic decorations baby. I'll take full credit for it if you don't mind. Zeph, you mentioned the macros are probably feeding the clams. I say to you, the macros are probably keeping the iron from the pathogens that kill clams. Quote Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We are both right. But know I do dose iron in that tank, mostly for the macro but also to test the clams. Which do better and grow faster in there then any of my others tanks. Live mysis culture 55 gal. extra caulerpa grow out Quote Link to comment

Most likely he is very busy with the site upgrade tweaks and it's been delayed a day. He had mentioned that the TOTM format had to be altered with the new site so it could be a formatting issue.

Deleted User 3 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hey guys.. do you think my clown goby is going to get bigger? lol. shes basically the same size as when I got her.. and that was like two months ago now, which in that time i could tell a difference in my clowns, does feeding make a difference? She tries to eat the pellets but cant, so if i only do that, she doesn't get fed that time. So I have to use the FD Daphnia, or frozen, and even then she doesn't eat too much. I'd try something different but funds are nil at the moment, do they eat pods? I haven't seen any in my tank in months, but possibly since she's small she can find some. No SPS have missing polyps just an fyi lol. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 All fish eat pods but frozen brine or mysis is a better food than pellets. Hikari or other brands of frozen mysis costs under $5 for a 3.5 oz pack. A fresh clam from the grocery store should be about $1. Get them to cut it open and give it to you on a half shell. Freeze it. Use a sharp blade to 'shave' small clam pieces, chop that up even further - very healthy, nutritious and should last for months. Pellets are okay, but mysis or other foods are a better option.

Deleted User 3 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 She's not able to eat the pellets, but tries. I have frozen mysis and marine cuisine, I am feeding her them besides the hikaria freeze dried dapniha with she likes and are small enough, but I wish there was something I could just drop in like I do with the clowns, since they're pigs. What about small cooked but frozen shrimp from the store? if i can cut that into itty bitty peices.. I have that and feed it to sherman and my rats since they like it. Hmm. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 New life spectrum has 1mm pellets which everybody in my tank goes ga ga for. When I had those bastard amphipods over taking my tank, they would scurry about with those pellets too so they are certainly small enough for an itty bitty fish. The pellets you have can be crushed to a fine powder to feed the goby. Quote Link to comment
