To have the best result (and not receive unfrozen gooey food), you should buy a good amount of frozen foods at the same time. This is why all my frozen foods have been bought at a LFT (two gobies don't need 10 packs). Shipping is a 40$ flat rate. So I started adding stuff since it was a flat rate. I can get frozen food at the lfs. I just did know think long enough... but now there is a surprise coming! Plus they sometimes give freebie. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's 60 to Alberta but only 50 to Saskatchewan or BC. Fragbox is only 40 to Alberta. Quote Link to comment

PeterU Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I got my Yellow Clown Goby from Candy Corals only because it was captive bred and they had one. Added some zoas to help make the shipping worth it. I'm trying to buy local but it's not always possible. Quote Link to comment

There is only one good fish store in Quebec city and they only have one brand of pods and it's a blend. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Do you direct feed acans and favias? I don't feed my frogspawn and hammer and they grow, slowly, but they grow. Edited December 22, 2021 by Kindanewtothis Quote Link to comment

I try to feed each head weekly when I have left over frozen. - Favia - I've not tried to feed. My guess would be no, but never hurts to try. Quote Link to comment

Phyto is probably supporting pods, and the pods will help feed corals. But I don't believe that LPS feed directly on phyto. I'm not sure though. I would be feeding the LPS something meaty something like once a week. They are photosynthetic, but LPS usually likes weekly feedings. 1 Quote Link to comment
DevilDuck Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Your favias and acans will grow faster if you feed them once in a while. Favias will learn when you feed and will put out feeding tentacles in the daytime. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kindanewtothis Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Ok so brine/mysis once a week for the favia, frogspawns and hammers. Pump off and target feeding each head? 1 Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 I was wrong about my pods culture being a monoculture of tisbe. The apocyclops panamensis are just late bloomers... So I now have a tisbes/apocyclops culture and an apocyclops only culture next to it..... Cannot have too much pods... Quote Link to comment
Kindanewtothis Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 YWG is doing well but only eats brine shrimps. I think it's going to be in the 10g for a while because I'm affraid it won't take its place in the 50g and will not eat. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it's going to be in the 10g for a while because I'm affraid it won't take its place in the 50g and will not eat. Sometimes it just takes a while and for the fish to get hungry. My Clown started only eating Brine shrimp Switched to Frozen Mysis, and he wouldn't touch it - now he eats it but not as aggressively as Brine - but at night that's his only choice for food on Mysis night. Tried to add Flake food - Fish said NO WAY. HE's now eating flake every morning ( though picky of flake color unless he's really hungry ) Eats pellets but picky on brand My Talbot Started only eating Hikari Marine S Pellets ( Fed at LFS and still his favorite food ) Frozen Brine - Wouldn't touch brine - now eats it but only small bits Mysis - Eats sparingly Flake food - wouldn't touch it for a good while, now starting to eat it when I feed Clown. Can't put too much Flake in there as neither fish will eat a ton of flake. I think - If the Fish is hungry, they'll try things to survive. May not like them all the same, but if he's healthy fish he should eat. Have you called LFS to ask what they were feeding him at the store. May help while the fish expands his palate. 2 Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 I'm conflicted, I got a gift certificate at my LFS and they're doing a boxing day sale tomorrow but I added a lot to the tank recently... Boxing day is just a good time to get a torch... 1 Quote Link to comment

Merry Xmas I had a recent sale 35 - 40 percent off everything coral. I added some frags when I didn't really have the sand space in my 10 gal. I found room and got my first Hammer, Ricordaia, ad a few others. Will be adding next Christmas too. 1 Quote Link to comment
