Hi fellow reefers .... had read through old threads and rather confuse ......... need yr advice again....thanks...

Going to buy 2 BT and intro to my tank (3 ft)

Some question which i am not sure need yr advice

1. Can i intro the BT to my main tank after accimlation? (Prevent stressed) or i need to put the BT in a betta box secured to main.

2. Wat type of food do i need to buy? (2 little fish brand or is there better one?)

Current food stock

- articpods

- clycopeeze

- frozen mysis

Haha... let me try:

1) Personally, I will just transfer them straight into the main tank (after acclimatization). Since there are no other fishes in your tank (there will be no fighting) and BTs are generally "eat-like-a-pig" kinda fish... don't see a need to put them in betta box... bear in mind that it's stress to be inside a small plastic box within a fish tank

2) You already have superb food source... however if you want to feed pellets (due to convenience and cleanliness), I find my fishes react positively to Ocean Nutrition Formula One and Formula Two. There's also this product by Dr. Bassler's called ######, it contains extra vitamins that will boosts immune system and prevent minor outbreaks. If you wonder where to get these products, PM me.

Have fun!

ho ho sorry didnt see no fish.

if yo do not have any fish, you might want to consider adding in other fish of your interest first. just make sure that are smaller in size to your blue tang cos blue tang might be a bit aggressive.

add smallest fish then smaller fish then small fish...

might want to consider buying flake as well. from my experience, they will eat the whole piece at a go. formula 2 comes with garlic as well.

Thanks bro jervis & andtsg .......

Will be getting the ###### & Formula 2..........

Had 2 Percular and 2 cleaner shrimps + 4 turbo snail previously.

After 5 days, cant control so bought 2 BT abt 1-1.5 inch ........ and a boxer shrimps

Bros, is it normal for the BT to hide between the pump and the tank glass?

(Just fed artipods with mysis soak with garlic but BT still hiding )

Nitrite - 0

Nitrate - 5

Is there other things to take noted? thanks
