trying to get it to feed on brine shrimp den maybe slowly change to veg type of food.. hopefully pellet at the last stage (must be dreaming) btw where you get your ulva

maybe coz it's too big already...hard to change its eating habits...something like hard to teach an old dog new tricks....

my ulva is from my own sump....self propagation to complete the feeding cycle as much as possible.....

take from sump feed the tangs....then the tangs eat and poo and the nutrients go back to the growing ulva in the sump...and then take from sump to feed the tangs again...

hope the waves in the tub remind him of hawaii, so he gets better....

[Dispar_Anthias]

hey good news yet again.... just fed my achilles again and notice it starts eating brine shrimp already......

Where do you frequet........ I want to buy from you some ulva to feed my achilles

wah..very good leh...

my system carries a low infection of ich..but they don't show up on my tangs....even my black tangs have no white spot...but achilles tang will easily show ich if my system indeed does have this parasite..and indeed never escape my rough estimation...

it was only yesterday that i had a feeling that it will appear soon and it really did...lol..if only buy 4D so accurate

anyway, dilemma here..even if it does not have ich anymore in the tub after a few days or weeks...but put back into the tank, again it will attact the ich in my system again...lol...

jia lat...

haha yeah... IMO achilles will surely(at least 99%) get ich once you put in it your tank.... its the part where how you get it to recover.....

Hmm i only have achilles tang in my tank so i dun have to worry

[Achilles Tang]

Can't wait to pick up my AT too!

Roidan, did you take from the 2nd tank on the left?

Mine is in the extreme left corner!

your one definitely very huge chance of success since no stress to it from other tangs and it is already eating...

now mine is probably getting the ich from being in this new environment, even if it does shake it off, eventually it has to stake its territory when i put it in the main tank with the others also....

seems like another 6ft just for it is appropriate

No lah... he took his tang way earlier compare to us... his(roidan) is the nicest and biggest

I took the smallest one Right afetr roidan took his on that very same day..... Think so long(3pm to 7pm) whether to get or not

cant remember....mine is near the door...yeah..should be the left side...

i collected mine on friday afternoon around 3 if i am not wrong..heavy rain that time....hehe

would have preferred smaller size ones as easier to train to eat....older/larger ones are more stubborn i feel....

but see the huge orange spot...i buay tahan...

ahh...

then i know boss's AT is which one..that one the teardrop also nice nice...but one side has 2 white small patches...

tat size and teardrop is a very good combination....but i did not feel comfortable buying it coz of the white patches...hehe

but if the white patches heal and eats well, our boss will be the happiest guy in here, that AT is a sure winner and definite showpiece

[Achilles Tang]

As with most of my past AT keeping experiences, I have not been successful.

Really crossing all my fingers and toes.... or I'll have to change my nickname soon. Maybe our 'pa zhi' clash!

yeah yuo got it... thats the one........ yah at first told my fren to get it but he feel that its too big for his reef thus give it a miss

hehe but on the other hand... it may be good cos that AT will be even happier in boss's tank...... BTW boss do you think that At you got will be attack by your powder blue when you add the fish in

dun worry boss,

your patience and experience will pay off....

seriously your piece is very nice...

u can ask edwin how many times i got up and down the 2 stools, how many times i walked between the 2 tanks...separated by the main door....looking at your piece and my piece.....

hope yours eats as well as Dispar's ....mine is a stubborn chap patronising me by just a few bites of ulva here and there
