fade2black Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 It'll be fine. I have never target fed mine and I've had it for over a year now. Just an FYI, research your purchase BEFORE you buy it next time Link to comment

fade2black Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hammers are cool. How about a picture of it? Is it a branching type? I have both, branching and non-branching. Link to comment

Korbin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 jaysus. That's huge. Try sticking a mysid shrimp to it when the pumps are off. It might eat that. Link to comment

Rampy Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I had never seen such a big hammer Link to comment
Rock Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 and its bigger when it opens up ... but funny... i have never seen its sweeper in action at all (day or night) Originally posted by Rampy I had never seen such a big hammer Link to comment
offsprg01 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 i have a large branch hammer and i've never seen it's sweepers either. don't feed it mysis. from my exp it wont eat it as the mouths are to small. i feed plankton to mine when i feed my featherdusters. dt's or any other brand of phyto plankton it good.

Rock Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 just tried to feed the hammer with mysis.. she just ignore the food, end up eaten by fishes. Link to comment
