Which wrasse are you jealous of. If it's one of my leopards, please come and take one. I can never find one at the LFS that actually eats in front of me. I want the leopard =P. Quote Link to comment

What does your lfs feed the copperbands they get in? My lfs seems to have weird slurry of bloodworms, brine, and mysis that gets them eating each time. They also ship. *coughhintcough Take her. You can take the large leopard that keeps knocking my frag plugs off the rack. 1 Quote Link to comment

pokerdobe Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Been a little while. No real change to the main tank. However, I did get my new tank in. So it begins... Also, while I was at my LFS, I spotted possibly the largest tank raised percula I've ever seen. I'm sure it's more common than I think, but I was blown away. Guy dropped off his pair of percula at my LFS to hold while he was moving. Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well they announced that my company is being sold... On a lighter side, looking for a few more acros to fill out my rock work. Any suggestions? Acros already in the tank: Tri color valida JF fox flame Tyree pink lemonade Katropora Kittiyagi Red planet Green slimer Red dragon Oregon tort Smooth skin teal echinata Random acros not sure what it is. Was poop brown in the store and waiting for it to color up. Also have a bubblegum digi. Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Bought AquaForest V, E, B to try. Any input on frequency? The written instructions differ from the instructions online. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe a pearl berry, strawberry short cake or the elusive Walt Disney? Quote Link to comment

pokerdobe Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 @J-Ranko I've tried my hand at the infamous pearlberry and failed not too long ago. As for shortcakes... They don't like me. Which is so sad, since I like them. @ninjamyst - Put in my first drops last night. Do you wait for lights out? I couldn't see in the dark... Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 i add drops randomly whenever i remember...sometimes it's night out...hahha. Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Has anyone ever had a fish live through being hit by a powerhead? My carpenter's decided to hole himself in my MP40 while it was off for feeding and was spit out when it turned on. Still in one whole piece as far as I can see, but plenty of scales missing.

Holy wow. I'd feed it food soaked in garlic drops to aid healing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure what else I can really do for it besides keep feeding. I feel like trying to catch him will just induce more stress. He's pretty fat and healthy to begin with, but I had this happen to one anthias and that anthias didn't survive the night. Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I think you're right. Just feed him healthy stuff. Might not hurt to either leave the light off today or only have it on for a short period. 1 Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Looks like the carpenter's wrasse will pull through. Glad he isn't too dinged up. Sunny D's are choking out my UC... I need to clip em back. 2 Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ended up picking up some CB Bowsers and got a freebie plug of Armor of God. Let's see if the hype behind the bowsers is real... Also looking to acquire some LC Petroglyphs, LC Electric Oompa Loompas to add my growing collection of zoas. Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Really glad to hear that about your Wrasse. Nice Zoa/Paly collection. 1 Quote Link to comment

pokerdobe Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 So fish question - anyone ever observe the lifespan of a mandarin fed on frozen? It's only been a couple months since my female mandarin has passed away and it seems like my male is starting down the same path? All other fish are eating fine. Quote Link to comment
