Kat's Birthday Party

[1.0reef]

Not all damsels are created equally, some are far more aggressive than others, especially when a pair is formed and they start breeding. Springers damsels are one of the most peaceful species, but there are individuals that do not fit the mold.

Hannibal, +1. Only I'm a wuss and put myself on hiatus until I can handle it again. xD

Good morning from the reef. Got a fresh batch of live blackworms yesterday, I'm hoping the longspines might be tempted to eat. I threw in food with garlic yesterday but no luck so far. Except for Mandarins, I've never had a fish that did not eat so any guidance here would be appreciated. I'm trying all kinds of foods, LRS reef frenzy, Mysis, brine shrimp, pellets, rotifers.

 

More SPS bite the dust. The tester frag from the LFS is still alive and showing PE so I might have better luck with new corals than the survivability of my existing colonies. Planning on gluing down some corals today - zoanthids.

Sorry to hear about the SPS. My cardinals took to cheap garlic laced flake first day.

Where did you get the blackworms?

Where did you get the blackworms?

Absolutely fish.

 

Some petland stores also carry them, call the one closest to you.

Didnt know absolutely fish had live blackworms. Ive always wanted to get some live foods to treat my fish too.

They have several kinds. Also get their frequent discount card, after 6 or 8 purchases you get $15 off your next purchase, Regardless of amount.

 

They now also carry LRS food and a full line of Dr G's. And if you check their soft fringing reef in the back left of the store, that one was inspired by me

 

At the LFS I was discussing wrasses with one of the guys. He said because I have a 6 line, it's going to be fight club if I add any other wrasses, especially the flashers and/or fairy wrasses. Anybody have a 6 line with other wrasses in their tank?

 

If the consensus is that 6lines will not work out with the wrasse harem I'm contemplating, then I might have to trade Mark Sanchez for another set of players.

 

And GOOD NEWS (God knows this tank needs some) - some of the Cardinalfish ate!

I have a 6-line and a carpenters flasher in my 30 gallon. The 6-line was added last and the flasher chases him all over. Neymar the 6-line doesn't seem to be bothered. When Cinderella (my daughter doesn't understand that she's a he) chases Neymar he just ducks into the rocks and starts hunting pods somewhere else. Neymar gives my Talbots Damsel grief though.

 

Glad your cardinals started eating!

The rock in the middle with the Grandis Palys belongs on the right side. It's here temporarily to get more light.

Love the new tank....how fast do those Grandis grow?

I have two red headed fairy wrasses, and male and a female, and a yellow coris. The male and female were added a few weeks apart and tried to kill each other for months. I had to separate them a few times but now they get along great. The yellow coris is much smaller and was added about 8 months later and the other two have never payed any attention to it.

So if I host my birthday at Absolutely fish, will you bring a few friends and come shop?

It will. I sent Dave a threatening Christmas card so maybe when he opens it and craps in his pants, my light will be on its way.

Hmm. These fish are unpredictable. Whodathunkit.

Yes they're good about that.

Let me know the details. Ill make an appearance. Maybe they might have a nice maxima that day i can grab.

[markalot]

My Grandis closed up 3 days ago and are refusing to open at the moment. I have 4 polyps now.

[hypostatic]

I knew it. I knew there was a reason to have some alcohol stashed in the desk. A friend sent this link to me.

They are temperamental but they will open up.

Yeah, it gets all the food I throw about

 

Hypo, I might hold a birthday party at the fish store in Clifton. A shopping spree event, you'll have to come.
