Super male and alpha male mean the same thing?

[nicky30092002]

yes always qouting my shi fu words ..

[DeepBlue]

thanks guys

I noticed my anthias will only appear with the males, only the 2 lyretail who is still w/o a male tend to hang out more often with the lone randall...once they schooled, they will follow the boss

just took a pic of another feeding session of my anthias in blue llights.

Noticed all my 5 pruple queens swimming together and eating with the dispars already...

Realised that disregard what variety of species you have, once a group starts eating, the rest follows...even my new sunburst is swimming and eating withthem liaoz............

Purple Queens are famous for being very picky with food, normally they will starve to death...but I have been observing them for days: they are shy but will take food. after the inital 3 started taking food, the 2 new ones I added also quickly got climatised and follows the rest to eat. Seems promising.

Just contributing some exp. to share with those interested in purple queens(of course in a tank with no agreesions from damsels, angel fishes helps a lot)

Food I feed my anthias with:

Cyclopeze, mysis, small krill, brine shrimps, golden fish eggs

Feeding routine:

2 -3 times a day. (book I read up recommended 4 times)

[DeepBlue]

a closer look, but they are too fast for my camera....

[DeepBlue]

Finally day light.....they love swimming where there's reasonable current.....love the sunburst, veri showy!!!

[DeepBlue]

hmmmm.......something went wrong, posted 3 similar pics and message, must be a glich.....I'll edit and change them

[DeepBlue]

here's the last pic

[FuEl]

How's the monti cap in the top left of your tank? Doing well?

[DeepBlue]

Bro, its doing fine, but I accidentally put it too near a sea rod, I think it must have effect on it, a little portion whitened ...but has stopped spreading....may frag that portion off, not decided, may want to let the 250W lights settle in sometime next week then decide
