Sad to Say, my Radiant gave up on me yesterday... :(

Damn sad, was looking forward to this fish for some time...

Anyone knows of anywhere that has a small specimen?

Thanks.

Hi Bro Solo, eh, Im not so sure if I was wearing a black shirt. Haha.

But I did see 2 other guys that day. :)

Anyway I had to sell the MW as Im sure my 6 line is not going to let him off. The 6 line was banging against the betta box, trying to get to the MW.

Now its a project to get the 6 liner out from my tank. Haha.

Thanks, already PM you my number.

Hi Bro, they had 3 when I went that day.

The small one was reserved so I took the next smallest one which was still pretty big IMO, but alas, was pretty sad to see it go... felt like a murderer.

If i didnt buy it, it would still be swimming.....

Not sure. did a 2 hours acclimatisation. was swimming happily in the betta box but when I wanted to release it the next day, the body started to slim some white stuff and it was on its side. the white stuff covered the whole fish in a few hours and was breathing heavily.

after a few hours it gave up on me.

How do you maintain the intensity of prata colours?

Normally through feeding and adding supplements... :eyebrow:

And what kind of supplements are you suggesting? :eyebrow:

I'm dosing sea chem reef plus right now. Most of my corals have actually coloured up a lot. Read in RC that Brightwell Aquatics CoralAmino is also very good and effective so will be trying that out also. :eyebrow: Of course not forgetting Prodibio Reef Booster. :whistle

Vit C is also supposed to help in coral colouration but some posts in RC mentioned that once you stop dosing Vit C, the corals will deteriorate so not taking the risk now.

Food wise, I'm feeding my corals with my own frozen food mix, Henry's, frozen brine/mysis/daphnia and zooplankton, rotifier and copepods.
