Ratvan Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020  Actually managed to photograph each of my fish (except one of the Red Headed Gobies) this afternoon 8 Quote Link to comment

It's a shame because he was a wonderful fish, could swim backwards, was very curious and basically reminded my of a hummingbird each time he circled around an aiptasia or a coral piece before eating it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Hermits are fine, snails get nailed (literally picked up and spat against glass) Thinking I might give Money Cowries and Urchin a go, too small for sea hare  Quote Link to comment

The tuxedo ones are very hardworking, but they'll eat macro too. Just supplement them with a strip of Nori/seaweed once/twice a week, just to avoid starvation. If there's enough algae, it shouldn't be a problem, but better to be safe than sorry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Proxo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The way you worded it i thought you're shutting down the tank and selling corals for £20 lol! You can sometimes get real bargains/rob from people on local facebook sale pages., there's a dude selling a massive bubble tip anemone near me for a fiver!! I'll be setting up a little frag tank and buying corals from local facebook sales i think lol! 2 2 Quote Link to comment
