Kokhui's 4X1.5X1.5

[kokhui]

The most active fishes in my tank- the chromis buddies. Their color seems to be getting more intense gree/blue. Don't mind the blur picture, haven'e got a good camera

[kokhui]

Bro looks like it is hungry. Have you been feeding zooplankton?

bro, how to tell if it is hungry? I feed zooplankthon about twice a week only.

[kokhui]

This is my blue linckia. I think I have covered all my pals in my tank.

I will not be going slow on stocking and probaly update then if I have any new pals to join the exisitng ones!

Outstretch polyps, frilly polyps tentacles and lighter shades.

When they are fed well, they will have a more full appearance and they body will be of darker shade as more zooplankton are stored in its body.

[kokhui]

oic, do they also feed on phytoplanthon?

Is the below picture better? I just took this pic, they were fed zooplankthion yesterday night!

[kokhui]

I notice some difference in the brown one too! Pic taken just also.

[Gouldian]

They have been documented to feed on Zooplankton rather than Phyto.

I personally have seen better response when I feed Zooplankton although I feel that Phytoplankton will indirectly feeds the Gonio since Phyto will increase the number of pods in the tank.

This is not Goniopora but Alveopora, it is the hardier cousin. Notice it has 12 polyp tentacles as compared to 24 polyp tentacles of the Gonio.

[kokhui]

How often should I feed them then?

[Gouldian]

How often should I feed them then?

For me, I feed nightly as I have a colony of hungry Sun Corals to maintain.

I have never tried cutting down on the feeding frequency. But I previously have tried every 3 days for my other tank with another Gonio. I noticed the growth is better with daily feeding.

I dun target feed but just dose Zooplankton mixed with Cyclopeeze with some de-chorinated fresh water and slowly dose into the tank nightly after lights off. However, I always try to position my corals so that they more or less receive some attention from my PH.

[kokhui]

Thanks bro, guess I will try out and see how the results will be like.

[Gouldian]

Here's a pix of a healthy Gonio, notice it is "meatier".

[kokhui]

Wow bro, very good! I will try to benchmark my gonio with yours and hopefully I can show you a healthier gonio soon! Cheers Gouldian, thanks for sharing!

[kokhui]

Talking about target feeding, I do not really target feed too, I dose phyto ans zooplankton for corals feeding. Howver, accident while feeding the fish pals, I chance upon a way to feed the fish and also the prata on the sandbed.

Please give me your comments! Am I doing it right?

Let me show a picture of my green prata before feeding.

[kokhui]

1) I sook some Ocean nutrition formula two pellts in a small bottle to soften them.

[kokhui]

2) After soaking for several minutes, they become soft and I squeeze them a little bit and drop them into the tank one at a time. The fish will rush to them.

Some will be eaten up or carried away by some fish. Others will drop onto the green prata right below.

[kokhui]

I had taken quite a few picture to show the process whereby the prata devour the pellets to keep a record for myself.

Therefore, moments later...

[kokhui]

And moments later....

[kokhui]

and later...... even the clown is coming to steal from the prata's mouth!

[kokhui]

A few more minute later...

[kokhui]

One last bite..

[kokhui]

Devoured the dinner!

[kokhui]

Finshed dinner, "wiping the mouth".. Full full liao

[kokhui]

Dinner's completed! Burp...

Please give me your comments. Am I doing it right? Is it geeting enough nutrition? Thanks for viewing, looking forward to your comments!
