Roidan's 4ft tank

[Dispar_Anthias]

i tried frozen mysis....never eat leh...hmm...will try brine shrimp and see got any reaction...

anyway, i did a comparison of the sand from my old 2 ft sump and the current 4 ft sump using coral sand size 0...my old sump sand is not coral sand...but i much finer and packs very tightly compared to coral sand 0...here are some pics....i cant seem to find this sand nowadays...

this pic is the finer sand from my old sump

Yup i notice that mysis shrimp are less popular to use in getting fishes to eat, well maybe brine shrimp is more fine and has strong fishy smell thus attract more fishes as compare to the mysis shrimp.... Well who know

[roidan]

no wonder....geee....only the clowns gobble the mysis down...lol...

must go get brine shrimp liao....

u try live brine shrimp.. anything live will get their attention.

usually what I does for potential new fishes that may not eat is to cage them, once they start to eat then release. no other seasoned

fish can go "snatch" food from the newcomer.

of course its a double edge sword, caging will stress the weaker

(mentality) fishes too.
