Roidan's Reef (I)

[Blenny]

hey roidan, how long does it take before your purple queen start to come out to feed?

[roidan]

a good few days..close to a week....but i still believe they were eating behind the rockworks till they were more daring to venture into the open waters..hehe

[Blenny]

Thanks

[roidan]

Thanks

no problem lah...

you bought how many? hehe...must get a few so that they can overcome their shy nature...

[Blenny]

bought 4 but planning more when tank comes. Looking at different types from the same family

[roidan]

different types ah...hmm...ok...

where you bought from? as long as they are eating..should be a good success rate keeping them

[Blenny]

From CF. May cost more but assured that the LF are qurantined properly

[roidan]

very true...mine also from there...*thumbs up* to their fishes

[ah^siao]

haha.. thanks... my water is damn choppy.. finding one place where the water slower for my rics...

[roidan]

make sure dun give too strong light to the ricordias...they may not like it....maybe u try on sandbed first?

[ah^siao]

sandbed also got current...

[roidan]

hmm..then maybe you can attach them firmly to small rocks in the sump first then place the rocks in the main tank when they are firmly and strongly attached

[ah^siao]

hmm attached to the rock le.. think is finally opening up

[roidan]

good...i had my first couple of ricordias melted long time back when i placed them too high and near the metal halides..hehe

[ah^siao]

mine now very high up..quite near the MH.. ops.. gonna move them down asap

[roidan]
