1.0reef Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Thank you guys! Anyone know how to make Swissguard eat? I tried to feed him all the food I got... pellets, frozen mysis, frozen plankton and frozen brine shrimp, he didn't like them. He looked at the frozen food and swam closer to it, but as soon as he realized it's not alive, he then backed off. Any idea how to make him eat frozen food? Try offering enriched live foods, then mix that with garlic soaked frozen/prepared. 1 Quote Link to comment
daletu Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 I am sure you have answered this, but what are you using for a a camera setup? I use custom white balance (grey card method), and aperture priority between F2.8-5.6, ISO setting around 200-1600 depending on lighting brightness. Trick is to make your shutter speed fall between 60-80 because if its higher than that, you see color bands in your pictures and too slow you will most likely getting blurry shaky images. Try offering enriched live foods, then mix that with garlic soaked frozen/prepared. Hmm... not sure if my LFS have enriched live foods, but I will stop by to ask. 3 Quote Link to comment

Also, sticking clear fishing line through frozen mysis and jiggling it around in the water entices even picky predator fish. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ah ok cool dude, insanely beautiful pics as usual. Thanks nanoreefer11! I am still learning how to shoot macro photos. This 100mm is my first macro lens. It's a really nice lens so I believe it's the lens who did the good job, not me. Haha! 1 Quote Link to comment
daletu Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ok. I tried the fishline method to trick my Swissguard Basslet to take frozen food. He took it but then spit it out! I will try couple more times tomorrow, hopefully he will eat it when he is really hungry. 2 Quote Link to comment

daletu Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Looks like both of my female sexy shrimps are carrying eggs!!!!! What should I do to increase the survival rate of the babies? Or it is just impossible without a separate tank? 3 Quote Link to comment
