That acan not suppose to be like that. Smthing wrong leh

The only time when the acan show signs of stress like that when in my tank, was when my stu**d blue tang pecked on it. But after moving it to the smaller tank, it recovered within a couple of days.

Bro FT, check whether got fish disturb or not.

The acan I believe needs more time to settle down. Kenneth has seen it today and says also need more time to let it settle. Ming, so far did not see any fish nip at it :cry: Manwhile tested water today and found tat the PH is low. Needs to buffer it up or all the corals will soon be in stress :fear:

Can anyone tell me wat fish is this ? Was told its called a "banana Fish" The colors esp the yellow strips is very radiant and shape of the fish also resembles "BANANA" too :lol: Got a few in my tank and guess wat ??? It feeds when I was feeding my fishes with brine n mysis shrimps... Swam in the open after a few hours on introduction in the tank :lol: The fish is abt3 inches long :rolleyes:

Ya can. will jio u along. But these 2 guys have been quite busy. One busy with baby and the other with work :eyeblur:

Bro Ft.. hope your water ph back to normal soon..

The banana fishes colour really looks radiant under blue light.. NICE

Ya been dosing some PH buffer to build it up. There's alot of these banana fish selling at T95. The yellow turn to like neon color under T5

Dun think its tat school of fishes tat u seen when diving la. Hardly seen it at LFS. T95 now got lotsa of it there, at least another 40 fishes there. The colors are jus neon yellow when at T5 lightings.

I goggle abt the rainbow runner and it says got blue stripes, but mine is yellow stripes lei. Jus hope they dun grow too big n too fast. :pinch: If not, I'll have to turn to my fishing tackle box for the fishing tools :lol: and will invite u over for Teochew steamed fish :evil:

hv a feeling that it should be the same species.. under the same family. The shape is too similar.. but perhaps the color changes as it grows? just like from Juv to Adult Emperor Angelfish.

hahaha.. just love to make u worry.. hahaha.. u sure they wun eat ur fishes and corals? if feast on corals, u know where to put ur corals hor... hahaha
