Roidan's Reef (II)

[roidan]

you can definitely have one in time to come, dun worry

they are sensitive and finicky fishes...but if you take good care of them, they tend to be quite strong once gotten used to the tank....

mine recently has a few specks of ich again..but shook it off again...but u can never underestimate ich....if it does turn into an outbreak...even non tangs will succumb

actually chevrons are more expensive, generally over 100odd..whereas ATs are generally below 100.....both come from hawaii regions generally

[kschew1498]

hmm....talking about ich....my Blue tang kanna already.....and it pass on to my Brown one as well......got to quickly get my new toy up and running!!! Guess it is not adviseable to add anymore tangs when you spotted ich occuring in your existing inhabitant right? Sigh!.......My Mdm was telling me to get the fish with lips....hahaha.....a Naso I guess......

[roidan]

u are very right..dun add any tangs when the existing ones are having problems...wait till u see the existing ones are doing well and at least...no visible ich on the body before u get another one...

not visible may mean slight infection but not serious....but when u can see ich and yet add some more tangs...then u are worsening a bad situation....hehe

go hook up the uv and see if it can clear the ich before adding another tang

[AlfaRomeo]

I think the general sentiments in RC is dat Chevron is more hardy than AT when it comes to ICH but if both survives the initial ich infection and eats well after 1 month or so, can consider it safe and the specimen will survive for a long time in the tank barring any extraordinary events

[roidan]

yeah...

in fact....most feel that the AT is the pinnacle of tang sensitivity to ich..one of the most sensitive tang to keep

if a tank got ich...the AT will be the first to show it...somemore the body is quite black, even a tiny speck is obvious

It shd b "do not add in any more fishes" not juz tangs.

[NAx0]

Congrat !!! very nice tank and fish's

some question

Which has been the order of introduction of the surgeons?

And which of them it is the king? for you the achilles

¿but which controls the remainder?

[roidan]

true

never underestimate ich...one outbreak is all that is needed to wipe out an established tank of fishes

honoured to have your nice comments from spain

the first tang was the yellow tang, followed by the sailfin...

the rest of the order kinda forgot...but if look thru the thread Roidan's Reef (I) carefully, should be able to track out the sequence...

the last is this biggie Achilles

there is no doubt who is king of the tank...the yellow tang (first tang in the tank which made it feel the whole tank is his)

but achilles has gained it's respect

[AlfaRomeo]

Yup , patience and self-control is the key when it comes to stocking esp in ICH affected tanks... i have learnt it the hard way resulting in wipe-out of my tank inhabitants previously.... now taking things very slowly and have not added any fishes for at least 3 weeks already.. (apart from cleaner wrasses as a control measure)

[roidan]

yeah..all it takes is one super infector to start a chain of deaths...

i still remember my baby powder last time wrecked havoc in my old 4ft tank

[NAx0]

Thks roidan.

The yelow tang are more "agresive" me tang controlled to acanthurus lienatus , and this it measures the double

[roidan]

NAx0:

el amarillo es muy aggresive no están asustados de pescados más grandes

el surgeonfish del payaso es absolutamente duro de guardar también

and you do have a nice tank too

[roidan]

usted ve a menudo el surgeonfish de los achilles que es vendido en España?

tenía un surgeonfish del payaso vez última pero murió después de algunos meses

[kschew1498]

Wa say......spanish man......mai how lian leh........(I wonder does our Spanish friend knows what I am saying??? ).....hehehe...

Brother Rodian....no offend.....joking joking ok.... hahahaha

Good roydan

I never look achilles tank in spain only by order

Its a fantastic fish, sorry but you first achilles

[roidan]

yeah...achilles not too often seen here as well.

But now and then, sometimes, they do come here. More so especially when there is increasing demand for it

definitivamente un pescado fantástico
