Following along since I would like to add one, but need one that is lower maintenance. G

Day 7 update: So far so I good. The fry look like they have doubled in size over the last week. I found this brine shrimp hatchery on Amazon that is simple to use and has worked well. It has a series of baffles built in to help separate the egg shells from the shrimp. It works like all others by...

Just saw this in coral magazine: https://www.coralmagazine.com/2024/08/29/hawaii-supreme-court-upholds-west-hawaii-fishery-environmental-impact-statement-eis4-1/

I have not been able to get a good look to see the two little bumps. That is an awesome pic. We were able to sex our three because the mail developed a very square angular jaw. People described it like a bull dog. Until I saw it I didn't realize how accurate that was. The fry are so tiny it...

Quick pic update on day 5: I'm hoping the fish are color blind like me. Did not have any black zip ties so I used what I had on hand to make my fake urchin.

Welcome back!

Currently, I am hatching the shrimp in containers and harvesting them daily to feed the main tank. I have staggered them to have a new batch daily. We are 5 days in an no mortalities yet. The fry have all found each other and have started schooling together in the corner of the tank today. The...

I made a fake urchin. They prefer hiding under the bag of ceramic filter beads. I have the tank set up with just a sponge filter and air pump. I am worried they will get suck into any other filter. As of this morning I still do not see any dead bodies. I finally returned the male to the display...

Quick update: 48 hours in and no dead fish yet. Been loading up the tank with live brine shrimp. No more new fish so it’s time to out the make back in the display. There are around 20 fry.

I'm just trying to keep these little guys alive. They look like baby guppies with longer fins. Crazy.

Hmmm. Now there is a thought. G

Well, Looks like there are about 20 or so fish this morning. Started feeding pods and baby brine shrimp. We'll see how they go. Gerry

Well it was all happenstance. We’ll see how it goes.

He and I have been researching it. Lots of newly hatch brine shrimp for the first 2-3 weeks. I added a few types of pods today. We’ll see what happens. G

Well, Hopefully we are able to raise these guys. My son has been wanting to breed some sort of fish for a while. I got these Bangai’s about a year ago. Two paired up. Over the last few weeks we noticed the male’s mouth looked distended. My son got a pic where you can see the babies inside two...

I was thinking of some of the red, yellow, or orange ball or branching sponges. But I don’t want to run into problems like PaulB. That’s why I ask.

Hello, I have been thinking of adding some colorful sponges to my tank, but do not know much about them. They don't seem popular overall. Just wondering if any of you have had any experience or have any recommendations. Thanks, Gerry

Don’t know but looks awesome! Following along.

I loved playing Magic. Started with the originals. Unfortunately lost most of my stuff in a move years ago. We used to play all night. Wish I had some of those cards now. My favorite were some of the cracked cards I would add to my decks for fun. I have a crap ton of cards in a box but...

Don't need to be in the raffle. Just did it as a show of support. No worries. G
