wat r the difficult fish to keep in captivity?

[weileong]

Sealife have some whitecheek. Pls call and confirm if they still have it.

You are lucky. My dottyback and doctor warsse can't even last for 3 days and they go AWOL.

Saw on the web that bristle star will actually attack smaller fish and I have one of those in my tank. Being trying very hard to locate the fella but I can't seens to find it near the place I last saw it.

You are very lucky liao. Can last 3 days.

My cleaner wrasses started eating almost immediately but next day lying on the sand. I have given up on them.

Red coris wrasse... i've kept 2, both of which died within 36hrs dunno why they can't survive if my other fishes can. Anyway think it's quite common to see dead or dying red corises in the tanks of many lfses...

Doc warsse mistery.

Day 1: Swimming around, occasionally they'll hide.

Day 2: Totally can't locate they.

Day 3: AWOL (saw some fish bones on the seabed)

For those fish that needs regular feeding one the trick is to feed little but many times a day. The trick is to get a big skimmer.

I feed my fishes like 10 times a day and 2 cubes of mysis everytime. I guess the feeding is still okie was I don't get cyno or algae growing everywhere.

The end results is I got many fat tangs than fat anthias because the tang are more aggressive eaters.

This excludes the nori and pellets that I dump in manually and via the autofeeder 5x a day.

[that was niceeeee]

wats the market price for whitecheek tang?wanna buy one n try..

[weileong]

So far I saw cheapest at $12, some places sell at nearer to $18-20.

Tips make sure the fish already at the LFS for a few weeks and feeding. Should have lots of meat, means no those skin+bones ones.

I just bought one lol.

[that was niceeeee]

if i got a clown tang can i add it?

[mohamed]

You guys have any success in keeping " a-go-go " in captivity?

[Dispar_Anthias]

I would say is Leopard Wrasse... Tried Twice gone in less than a week... Never tried them again...

They are very poor feeder and acclimatizer

Clown tangs are not recommended. What's a-go-go?

[neokn]

"A-Go-Go" is a LS. The one with white patches on its body.

Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides - Common name: clown sweetlips, spotted sweetlips

Actually these are no n fishes to have.. they feed on hard shell inverts and they do not do well in captivity

[neokn]

Makan small fish and love shrimp to be main course.

[cornyfish]

These ago-gos look quite cute but read somewhere that they grow really big, almost a metre long... but that's provided they survive THAT long... haha

[uncanny]

My Agogo (clown sweetlips) actually used to keep for over two months until I introduced two debileus reef lobsters into my tank.

Even though termed as reef safe and I have no solid proof, I think my lobsters started killing my fishes at night coz every morning will find my fish have some injuries and die soon after with wounds on their bodies.

Anyways, my agogo used to just peck at rocks and the sandbed for food. It's great fun to watch coz of their wavvy pattern when they swim, like dancing agogo!
