Tamberav Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Bones is still alive, he is eating ova but he picks and moves on and picks and I wish he would stay in 1 spot and finish it all. Whoa! That's an AWESOME fish!!!!! Thanks! He is a firecracker! Link to comment

Reef_Suds Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Stunning fish! I wish you the best of luck and hope to see him fatten up so we can all see more pictures! Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks everyone for the support I saw Bones zoom across the tank today so I am hoping that means he is feeling better. He is still very shy. I got off my butt tonight and made my screen top for the tank. No more ghetto taped on netting over the top. ha! I still have work to clean it up but happy so far as they tank has pretty much cost me nothing. Free tank/stand and rock and parts I had laying around for plumbing and other improvements. Slowly coming together. I also put my value LED fixture over the tank. I need to hang it though, right now it is just sitting on the top. Link to comment

Cameron6796 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Better then nothing i guess if you can get it fattened up it will be good Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I wish I had a camera recording just now!! I saw a spot of bryopsis so got out a pipette and peroxide to kill it. My spotted guy is more like a clownfish and very bold. He thought pipette = food so he came over and started begging. I didn't want him sticking his head in peroxide so I tried to shoo him away and he started crawling on my wrist and hand giving me the cutie face. Link to comment

Tamberav Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Okay well I learned something new today... porcelain anemone crabs like GHA... or at least mine does. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I thought I lost Mr. Bones and I couldn't find him ANYWHERE today (he is in this tank now). I fed the mandarins and left the pumps off for a good 2-3 hours as usual and there he was finally. Out and eating ova on the rocks. Woo! Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ofc I got some pics too Btw, I can see pods all over the macro. You would think 4 dragons would wipe the pods out but macro is such an amazing hiding area for them to breed that pods are thriving. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 He looks better than before, Tamberav! Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ofc I got some pics too Btw, I can see pods all over the macro. You would think 4 dragons would wipe the pods out but macro is such an amazing hiding area for them to breed that pods are thriving. I can tell it's still skinny from the 2nd picture. But 1st picture, it looks healthy chubs. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah, he is eating well but putting on significant weight takes time. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 How long has it been in your tank? Link to comment

Tamberav Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I see Mmmm, Hope he stays strong. Thanks! I am hopeful but trying not to kid myself. He was/is in bad bad shape. My oldest mandy is going on 1.5 years now. Link to comment
