Mainebetta's Amphiprion percula - first spawn
FuEl replied to marinebetta's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Hehe...Getting Super Selco for these guys? Then we'll know whether it was due to the enrichment diet that caused the previous batch to have lower survival. -
Is Yoda an ewok? Kill the evil ewoks a.k.a furbies/gremlins!

Maybe your finger look like super fat worm. Hmmm...so what your views on reptiles needing special care that only certain experts are qualified to provide? *Interview* Haha...ok..I shall leave you out of this..

Any pics..hehe..does'nt have to be your animal, or at least you can deny it's yours. I'll start. My favourite..frilled dragon...I simply love the dragons...they have real personalities. Sadly it got so tame it does'nt frill anymore, just sits around you.

Hmmm...could there be a confusion between nibbling and pecking? Most polyps after being pecked will shrink, and probably waste off if the pecking continues to stress them out. But they don't really get ingested by the animal in the process.

Hmmm..they won't die. Just make sure nothing eats them during this time. If best separate them into your sump or a separate container. Provide fine sediment that you can siphon out from your main tank and they should rebuild their homes soon enough. Camel shrimp eat anything...

Drop the specific gravity slowly. Like 0.001-0.002 over a day to minimise stress. It would be more accurate to read salinity in parts per thousand (ppt).

Good old water change.

Mean, grumpy-looking exotic cat... Maybe it would help you get potential buyers if you could identify the breed to? It resembles the evil mastermind cat "Mr Tinkles" in the movie "Cats and Dogs" It's a persian?

Anyone who has been in this forum for such a long duration would surely know a bleached coral from another. Anyone with good integrity would never offer others "baby blue" ricordias when they are obviously bleached. If he did not want to hide the fact that they were bleached, he would have put "bleached baby blue rics for swop". Such many exchanges make it apparent that it is not done out of ignorance, but out of ill intentions. If he was of good character, he would have offered to top up an amount of $ to make up for the difference in quality of rics exchanged. That's what any honest, fair-minded chap would do. The blasto giving to one reefer was an act that should be applauded. But what about trades with the other reefers? One good deed cannot make up for so many unfair deals. That's what I feel. But of course people can make ammends if they have the heart to. Human nature is forgiving. Let the victims decide if he really is regretful and sorry.

Haha happy for you..anyway if you are still looking for that dream pet of yours...let me know and I'll link you up.

1) Gorgonians are seahorse-safe. However, seahorses are not gorgonian safe. Be prepared to keep replacing gorgonians. Gorgonians tend to get irritated by the constant attention of the seahorse and they generally don't do too well with slow water movement in a seahorse tank. 2) Small clams might be safe. I've heard of incidents of seahorse tails getting stuck in clams. A more natural looking seahose tank would be plain sand with sea grass. Forget large formations of liverock as these might be dangerous. Seahorses have the ability to get stuck quite readily. A few branching liverock would be a better option. Get seahorses that are already feeding on frozen food. It will save you alot of headaches. Reborn at lavender was bringing in seahorses that chased frozen mysis not too long ago.

Would create hell alot of random wave motion if you use in conjunction with modified maxjiets. Might be even more effective than a single tunze or two in generating random flows. Do your permutations and you will know..

Pink flamingos are the norm. However I have seen red flamingos.

When you guys mention red sun coral, is it only the tissue on the outside or does it include the tentacles as well? If it's the tissue colouration then it might be possible as I've seen dive photos of sun corals that look pinkish red when closed during the day. It would be harder to believe if the tentacles of the polyp are red too. As for the fading of red sun corals, it might occur even if they are not dyed. This might be due to nutritional deficiencies in captivity compared to their natural food in the wild where these red specimens are found. The zooplankton that they consume might have higher levels of natural pigments like carotenoids. Afterall, suncorals are azooxanthellate and UV-shielding pigments in zooxanthellae can't account for their bright colours. It is well documented for many species that fading of body colour will occur if removed from natural conditions. For example: if u take a bright pink or red flamingo from the wild and you feed it a different diet, you'll probably end up with a faint pink or even a white flamingo in no time. Basically what I think contributes to colouration of sun corals in captivity is a blend of genetic and dietary reasons.
