hmm will keep tt in mind next time i get anthias ..

thanks !

Anthias are hard to keep... u might need to get an automatic feeding machine (Eheim brand) but can only use for pellets, and sometimes can overfeed too, not very consistent IMO. But Anthias are so so pretty... recover and go get some more :lol: Next time, get those feeding ones :)

Nice Blue Gorgonia... at least your red branches are still very "red"... glass need cleaning? Em... not sure but your photos are a bit on the green side (especially the BT shot). Maybe you wanna enhance the photos using Photoshop or other softwares before posting... oops... now you know why my corals look colourful and healthy... lol

BTW .. how and what do i feed gonios ? can i just use cyclo ? or would they eat mysis ?

You mean Gorgonia (Sea Fan)? They love Cyclop-eeze... if you wanna spoil ur corals, can also try Reef Roid (can buy from Aqua Mart). So far, the best food for my Sea Fan and corals.

Oh... I was comparing with the small tin of Cyclop-eeze... ok lah, if your Cyclop-eeze is $33, then you will find the Reef Roid quite affordable also, quite close. IMHO, the Reed Roid is a much superior product :lol:

Wow! Your MI is perfect!!! Mine the top fin slightly damaged... no choice. Out of the 5 specimens in Irwana's tank, only 3 feeding. I bought the smallest of the 3, so the no "high-fin" like yours... all the best in ur mussels feeding :D I'm sure ur other fishes will love it!!!

About your TBT, sorry to see that... I read from an advanced book... bloated eyes can also be caused by Supersaturation of Oxygen... I think it is too high lvl of oxygen in the water. You might wanna do some reading on that topic.
