DeepBlue Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Recent postings by a guy regarding pomfrets got me wondering what kind of fishes do local reefers keep in our tanks? it would be interesting to know what are the fishes we are keeping? Whether are we boring pple who keeps the same kind of fishes (like factory rollouts again ) or are we that diverse in nature.... I shall take the lead since I started the thread, so here goes: 1) 1 x 4" Regal Tang (pondering...to keep or not to keep) 2) 1 X 2" Kole Tang (keeping) 3) 1 X 3" Mimic Tang (keeping) 4) 1 X 3" Black Tang (pondering...to keep or not to keep) 5) 2 X percula clowns (keeping) 6) 1 X 2" Flame Angel (keeping) 7) 2 X 1" neon Gobies (keeping) 8) 1 X 1.5" Fire Goby (keeping) 9) 1 X 2" bi-bolour blenny (going soon) 10) 1 X 3"Powder Blue Tang (keeping) (4ft 2yr old tank with beckett skimmer) oh yah...it s just a sharing..one rule...please refrain from criticising each other's stocking as this simple thread shouldnt be a spark of an all-out flame war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member neokn Posted September 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2004 Where can we donate those LS that is getting too big for most of our tank? Scenario: 6" tang in 3.5' give to someone with 5' tank, this tang move on to a bigger tank so what will happen to it when it grow to 10"? Give it to someone with 8' tank? but how many Singaporean have 8' tank in their house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member neokn Posted September 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2004 Maybe that's why this guy ask for pomfret ... if get too big ...no problem .... end up on the dinner table .... That's a good one. But seriously would you want to eat your 10" tang? I for 1 will not do that, thus I'm wondering have anyone ever donate their Ls that grew too big to any organisation?
