Hi CKS,

I love your sea grass....Hunting high and low but in vain. Mind to reveal their hideout or we trade in somehow...

Look like one of your male pouch is carrying egg......

Good luck and have fun....

[CKS]

em.. i dont even know if they'll survive .. picked them up only recently

they got washed up near the shore along tanjong beach (sentosa)

will provide them only after they proliferate

saw a crab thickly covered with hairalgae when i was there hunting for algae!! so becareful.. u dont wanna sue sentosa .heheh

[Chris Low]

Sea grass grows best in soiled substrate. It actually a plant with roots and behave just like aquatic fresh water plant. You are so lucky it float all the way there from Labrador beach. There you find lots of them but "No Plucking".

I be your 1st person on the waiting list. Is a banned item now.

Oops.. hope AVA/NPB..etc dont get me for this

Carrying eggs?!?!

SH**T.. im not up to this challenge yet!

will post more pic of the males 2 verify

[chinmo]

cool! where is this fake coral still avail?

If like bro chris said, "he's preggy" than i suggest u need to do some research on kreisel tank... reidi fries are pelagic.. u dun want them snicking too much air at surface...

better to search more now.... u need the kreisel tank or the FISHBOWL very soon! Happy Fry raising!

They're now trained to feed off "hanging" feeding tube

[CKS]

Hanging Feeding tube

[CKS]

Have to soap the frozen mysis in saltwater for at least 10min to have them sinking... seems like soaping them in freshwater will make them less dense than saltwater

Finally a 30s video of tube feeding

All seems well..all the best in fry raising!

Updates

[CKS]

Got a tub with rounded edges, punch a hole at the bottom of the tub and covered it with fine net
