[ryz]

hehe maybe next time can pass u some money then u help me buy stuff hahahaha my personal shopper.. nah.. I cannot afford the time and dun have the means to chiong shipments lah.. so I dun get nice suff that u all gungho ppl get.. u ortder prata? from where? possible to order for me also? haha

Now starting to get a bit tired of tangs liao.. all they do is eat eat eat... nv seems to be full... waste my food.. poop so much.. lol... was thinking of adding some small gobies or firefish.. but sure cannot compete for food with the greedy tangs.. thats why nv buy..

Tank rather peaceful amongst the tangs lah.. but the Blue Tang will sporadically assert his power and dominance over the PT.. raise his fin and scare the Pt a bit and all...

don't mind being your personal shopper liao....he...he would definitely enjoy doing it.... Me , depend on the right timing when shipment comes in then can cheong otherwise must listen from afar all the goodies being snapped up!

Ok if that Red Prata ever comes in I will "chope" one for you liao....

Yeah agree about Tangs poo-poo....thats why they grow super fast! I'm waiting for my Naso's to get big liao....all of a sudden crazy about them now.

One thing gobies are mild mannerd and won't chase for their food. Such a hassel because I have 4 tiger gobies which are my favorites but they never have a chance to eat properly with all those greedy tangs around. My fave is the Lieutenant which is really very healthy now....*slurp*

I think theres always one main ruler in a reeftank with the others. Mine is the Ocean Tang which is bigger then the rest.

bro.Edwan....this little fella is getting fatter and fatter these days from market prawn...*slurp*

Ryz dude, i think you got a bad thorn in your attitude about reef keeping.

Research before you buy.. like i beginning to say and still saying tangs esp Naso genus and Acanthurus genus are meant for big big big BIG tanks because they grow really BIG in times to come. As observed by you, they eat more than their own share.. thats why they can grow big within months' time.. its their natural habit cause if they remian so small in the wild they will be eaten up by other fishes so they need to grow big and BIG means you need to compromise with them and not they compromising with you so i will want you to be more conscientious about the next lifestock you buy.. even if its gobies.. though they might be small but they require some kind of TLC too. I hope you understand..

Anyway you got a good prospect to a great reef so dont waste it ya?

I think u misunderstood wad Ryz is saying . ...

Now starting to get a bit tired of tangs liao.. all they do is eat eat eat... nv seems to be full... waste my food.. poop so much.. lol... was thinking of adding some small gobies or firefish.. but sure cannot compete for food with the greedy tangs.. thats why nv buy..

I think he is saying that he is so called "sick" abt the way the attutide of the tangs not their feeding habit....all the tangs know is just to eat and poo, (He knows it , jus that after so many months of keeping, he is sick and so call Sian abt it) FOr gobbies eg, they are small little fishes wich will graze ard the tank domience but unlike tangs...so u see , the 2 prospective he is trying to explain...

But its not like otherwise wad u thought....Of couse he knows that tangs are greedy species ...If they they eat that much and greadily, It means that there is problem awaiting...or your tang is sick/stress up.

HOpe this is wad he is trying to explain as this is wad i think after reading this page

PEace

[Ancelot]

OH!!! hahaha.. PAISEH la... BUt then PEACE!!!

[ryz]

haha I research abot everything before I buy loh.. will make sure I know how to take care of them and able to keep them alive and well.. Every coral I buy, every fish, even salt, lights, food for fishes... but I admit I sometimes buy things because I like them a lot... like my Blue tang, I've always known that they can grow v big and outgrow my tank but I went ahead a bought it still.. but I try to provide for it's needs as much as possible... All my tangs are healthy and very greedy... I'm sure everyone is guilty of this.. By right if you want to talk about keeping them healthy and prepare for their maturity, all tangs should be only kept in a 6 feet tank at least... even yellow tangs can grow to a v big size... I'm just a bit sick of fast swimming and active fishes... was fantasing about have a serene quiet tank with little gobies and mandarin fishes hanging out and chillin... But as they say the grass is always greener on the other side... I'd probably start to miss my tangs again if I give them up so I'm not planning any change in lifestock.. too tedious to catch as well.

Don't really get what u mean by me having bad thorn in my attitude to reefkeeping.. Care to clarify?

Don't think you know me very well.. lol If you do, you'll know how conscientious I am(maybe just plain Kiasu)

All my Livestock thriving.. Got a brown SPS frag from jd_n a while back has grown quite a bit and now colour up to green liao

Even the notorious black ribbon eel I'm keeping in my FOWLR is alive and feeding on market prawn almost everyday... Most websites don't advocate keeping them as most ppl's specimens dun survive over a month due to refusal to eat... Mine hunted live fish at first then I weaned it to market prawns. I researched on ways to scape my rocks so as to make the eels feel secure so they won't escape(eels are infamous for their ability to escape) and on how to keep them alive and well...

[ryz]

U can chiong shipments one what... haha ur father so on.. chiong with you... Me no means to chiong leh... still have to ask u to help me buy..

Haha just realised something v cute... My fishes can recognise what I'm holding in my hands!! When I hole the fish food bottle, they all rish to the top anticipating food.. but when I hold my cloth(to wipe my wet hands) and my long tweezers(help me move some stuff in the tank, they all hide... They know when I'm going to feed them and when I want to maintain the tank.. lol didn't know they so smart.. at least thats how it appears to me.. might be just me imagining things or being too presumtious

Noticed that my blue zoos have attached to the rock work liao(previously I just left it sitting on the rocks) and they are budding too... only been a week or so since I got them... My Green Star polyps spread to the tank glass! I left the GSP on a rock near the backk glass and now it spread to the back! gosh.. wasn't even touching the glass, it sorta grow and reach out for the tank glass... Now theres a 4 cm diameter GSP frag growing on the back glass panel... Hope it spreads and covers the whole back wall.. then I'll be the first to have a unique Green background wahahhaha
