bro Thexder, whats the size of those clams?

Around 2"... I bought 1 maxima, 4 red notes, then less 20%. But the maximas have plenty of aiptisa growing over their shells Need to do a lot of aiptasia killing before you put it in your tank

Looking for small SEA HARES.

Hi Bro

Ah Beng LFS has a couple of blue spot sea hares. They are about 2-3 inches. Is that small to you or too big?

Been there last Sunday and still have 5.

Bro, any idea how much they sell the flame angel? Do they look like in good shape? >.<

Hi LemonLemon Bro

If you can wait, then you should try the Marshall Island Flame Angels. They are brighter RED in color.

The last shipment from AM was last Christmas. They might be bringing in again. Try calling Janet or John.

Many bros including me did not managed to keep those angels alive. Almost all died of the same symtoms, bloated stomach. Scared to purchase fishes from MI liao. Yours managed to survive?

[andyboss]

FYI:

I bought mystery and angel frm AM's recent shipment,

Mystery bought on the 1st day shippment, still alive and kicking

F. Angel bought on the day after, but didnt make it the very next day, suspect it was my cleaner wrasse pair coz keep on disturbing F.Angel when added together into my holding tank. so reason of dying: unknown =x

I got the flame angel at the same time with the maxima... $75 (before 20% discount). CF price is quite standard... every shipment of flame angel I ask the auntie she tell me the same price Somehow I find CF's flame angels have nicer black bars and reds compared to those in the other LS shops.

Thanks bro. Yeah I was there last weekend but their size a bit too large for moi. Shall wait till next shipment.

Thanks. Have been looking for a flame angelfish for quite some time, everytime i see its either reserved, not healthy, or dead -.- last time i saw in one LFS. dun wan mention name, one flame angel full of white spots... also still for sale. In fact, the whole shop infected with white spots. fish all dead or dying. My first visit to that shop, and i told myself i wont go back there again. Hopefully they do something about it bah.

BTW, what is MI? what shop is that? isit ML? marine life? that shop henry quite nice. =) his LS all very healthy

Oh thank you. BTW i heard flame angels from christmas island/coco island always carry parasite. is that true? are flame angels even found there? i read on wetwebmedia.

flame angels from hawaii and MI are the best? so far, i cant really differenciate where they come from, i just know that certain areas the colour from intense/faded. The one from marqueses has no black bars?

Bro, "best" is one issue. But most important is the method used to catch the fishes. The lemon peel I bought from the same shop also up lorry with bloated stomach. Will be my first and last buy from the LFS.

Bro the shipment so jialat meh? Got many flame angel die of bloated stomach? IMO, fish from MI is far better than the Hawaiian side. Try to quarentine in future and see how. Among all, the lemon peel is the most swee one.

bro not only angels, my mystery oso. MI fishes might be better but it's the method used to catch them that is the critical factor.
