  4. Hi all just to put up here since its related. All info taken from Advanced Marine Aquarium Techniques by Jay F. Hemdal. I will not extract the everything from the book just summarize the necessary information to take care of the fish. Hope it helps anyone who is interested Species name: STYGNOBROTULA LATEBRICOLA Common name: Black Widow Brotula Habitat: Carribean and Florida reef tracts Reproduction: Livebearers Reef compatibility: Reef safe Tank mates: Prone to aggresion by tankmates Water Temperature: 74 to 80 Farenheit Feeding: Enriched live brine shrimp nauplii and larval mysid shrimp Feeding style: This species has a unique feeding strategy, it slides on its side along smooth surfaces and into crevices and snaps up any food item clinging there. It is likely they do not use their sight at all in the feeding process. The black widow's high profile head means that they cannot see well directly in front of them, so they most likely just blindly snap their jaws whenever they bump into some food. It is possible that the "cleaning" behaviour noticed by others was simply the black widow using the side of a larger fish in the same manner. When the black widow is successful in capturing some food, it will keep moving forward. If it misses, you'll often see the fish shake its head and snap again or back up abit and snap, apparantly trying for the food a second time. Reference: Jay F. Hemdal. 2006.

  8. there are zeolites for marine, the ones for freshwater will absorb calcium in preference over ammonia which will be fine for freshwater since there is no calcium inside but disastrous for marine systems since Ca is very important to our inverts. Hence must make sure zeolite used are specifically for marine use. next thing is that zeolites are better used in a reactor as you will want to control amount of ammonia absorbed as too fast absorbtion rate can cause a complete tank crash. pls read wetwebmedia for more info. my 2 cents
