SRC Member flubberina13 Posted September 11, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 11, 2003 Their actual name is Sweet Lips but dun mix it with the Oriental Sweetlips which has horizontal stripes. A timid and gentle fellow who likes to hide and will lose out in the battle for food. Must pair up w likewise species... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dradttg Posted September 12, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hi proms, I have one at home. I just hope it does not grow up. I saw a growth up one in R***bow, all the white pokka dot turns black. Yucks. It will eat anything I feed it, brine shrimp, pellet, etc. The way it swims is extremely funny.

Hey don't think it is sux by the Ph, this is not an easy fish to keep and i think yours got weaken somehow and got itself look as though it is stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member [P]owder Blue Posted September 17, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 17, 2003 I have one that keep grazing my life rocks....did not see it feeding on the pellets or frozen shrimps that I feed to it.....well, I am preparing for the worst. Proms, try feeding it with live brine shrimps for a start. Once it started eating, you can be sure it that it will eat anything (except vege flakes & pellets) after that. But do note that it grows at a rapid rate... I do have a 6 months old spotted-sweetlip with me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwilly Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey don't think it is sux by the Ph, this is not an easy fish to keep and i think yours got weaken somehow and got itself look as though it is stuck it is my dear fren.. active all days I have it.. I always monitor closely new fishes for a week or so.. (see got spots, bullied, eating..etc) abt the 5th day morning b4 I go to work, I noticed it here.. still half alive when I off the PH. (once I off it, the fish start to swim weakly away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
