  1. They are beautiful fish but they can be rather shy and should not be kept with boisterous fishes like tangs
  2. Its a princess anthias aka pseudanthias smithvanizi
  3. Fish anorexic are some of the most frequent problem faced by us marine aquarist, however most of the time, we can't do anything. Sunken stomach, forhead and body usually means is a goner for the fish and its hard to fatten up a fish that is suffering from malnutrition. In addition, PBRT comes from Philippine where cynide are most frequently used so many of the fishes from there do not last long or dun fair well. There is only so much we can do 1)choose a fish that is already eating in the lfs especially if they are the finicky kind 2)try not to purchase fishes that comes from philippines unless they start changing their handling and collection method 3)start feeding finicky fishes with meaty or frozen food 4)finicky or shy fishes may need dither fishes to 'teach' them how to feed on prepared food 5)flood tank with food to encourage feeding frenzy Anyway you can still try PBRT as they are the easier powder species of tangs ard
  4. They lives so deep so doubt they know whats an aiptasia but its nv certain with butterflies
  5. The are deepwater butterflies which means that their diet mainly consist of zooplanktons. However like dwarf angel, they are hit or miss. They should have no problem with softies and sps but might be abit risky with LPS especially those that are not opening or already stressed.
  6. Welcome back to the dark side bro!!! Your setup definately looks great
  7. Actually cleaner shrimp are some of the best scavenger you can have in the reef tank. They will move quickly ard at the bottom of your tank to hunt for leftovers. When there is a carcass in your tank, your cleaner are definately one of the first to be at the scene
  8. CF 1) clarion in very good condition 2)I saw very beautiful and good size acanthurus maculiceps, developing slight streamer at about 3-4inches 3)colourful warty frogs 4)very good condition naokae fairy wrasse(a rare fairy for avid fairy wrasses collector) 5)quite a few deepwater semi reef-safe burgessi butterflies 6) a few huge Achilles tang 7)quite a few orange base mandarin gobies 8) a few very good condition hybrid powder blue tang
  9. To find a speckled face of that size is super rare liao.. Most I have seen are 5 inches and above.
  10. Update at RB: Tinker pair is doing very well, helfrich dartfish left with 1. Flame angel left with about 10, still quite a few potteri angel left. 1 pair of Jordan flame wrasse, and a couple of beautiful male still available. I saw a couple of speckled face tang aka acanthurus maculiceps a rather rare and seldom seen tang
  11. Knew they were reserved but was there to have first look at them and yesterday to take photo of them
  12. I had contact for wild caught interruptus at about $600+. Problem being wild interruptus requires cooler water and do not adapt readily to our tank tropical temperature. Actually Japan has plenty of special fishes. I want the true bodianus masudai
  13. Hotumantua is from easter island. If its with joculator then they will be readily available
  14. Din see the bloat as it was still in the bagf. Intending to do needling?
