I have a one spot foxface. About a year ago I brought home a yellow mimic tang. The foxface almost killed him in about 20 minutes. Poor guy was in a bottom corner all chewed up. Had to take him out and rehome him. Passed him on to another BAR member and he recovered. I currently have a gem tang...

Week 11 update: For now it is a lot of rinse, wash, and repeat. Have not lost any more since the transfer to the new tank. Honestly, I have been working a lot this last week which means I have not had the time to study them closely. All I can say is they are still alive. The meals remain the...

Welcome!!

I would worry about it tipping over since it will be very top heavy. I assume the stand would be the flush with the tank which would make the center of gravity pretty high.

I will give it a try.

Week 10 update: Can't believe it has been 10 weeks already. I will admit this is getting a little old and repetitive. The good news is we only lost two fish during the transfer to the large tank. At the same time I am starting to see them eat more of the frozen foods but nowhere near reliably...

Are there any fish that are known to eat GSP or Xenia reliably?

Yes. They were all doing fine before the move. From what I read the sudden fright syndrome may be either a nutritional issue, neuro issue, or just stress. These guys are so tiny and likely fragile that I don't really know. I could have easily injured them when trying to scoop them out since they...

Well, Week 9.5 update. Some changes and a bit of bad news. I was able to switch them over to a 20g long tank yesterday. A big thank you to JVU for letting me borrow the tank. The bad news is this morning I found two had passed away. The rest are all active and eating. I am not sure if they died...

Agreed. They took to live brine easily. At the same time they are fully developed when they come out of the male’s mouth. Don’t have to worry about hatching or larval stages let alone microscopic diets.

Week 9 update: Well this will be a quick one since not much has been going on. I am finally starting to see some fish reliably eat some of the large offerings. Overall, liver brine is still the hot ticket. From what I have read this is about the age where they start transitioning to large food...

Welcome!!

What do you feed your horses?

If you need to limit coral growth just place them in my tank. I’m good at limiting growth…or sometimes ending it all together. Hahahaha.

I wish I could grow these out. But don’t have the time and my wife would kill me if I set up any more fish stuff.

Sorry this happened to you, but I am glad you posted this here. I have not heard of brittle stars being affected either. At least now we can spread the word a bit for everyone else. I hope it all works out for you. G

Yes, I just don't have the time to get a culture going or to maintain them, and buying them would be cost prohibitive. They can go through a bottle of pods in 1-3 days depending on their size. Knock on wood I don't see any growth defects yet. When I say frozen pods, this is the product I am...

Week 8 update: Fish are all alive and doing well. Time to upgrade their tank size. Going to do a 20g long. Don’t know if I can start the HOB filter yet for better circulation and filtration. I don’t know if they are strong enough to avoid getting sucks up onto the intake grill. Going to keep...

Looks like the Idol is still doing well. G

I have done the manta ray snorkel twice at the Muana Kea resort. I don’t think you have to be a guest there to sign up for it. It was an awesome experience. If you have kids or anyone that gets sea sick the best part is that you just walk in from shore. You are maybe 100ft from shore. Makes it...
