I spotted quite a few B/W Ocellaris babies left at Iwarna couple of days back. You can check it out there. Mine both up the lorry liao Donno why but they suddenly had torn fins after a week. Upped the lorry shortly. Not Brook so might be some bully nipping them at night? Sigh. That's the problem with keeping small babies in a tank with other fishes.

Next time jio me. We can cycle in from my place. I have 2 bicycles and we can cycle in via Sungei kadut. The zoas, just place them somewhere away the powerhead - low flow area. They should open after a day or two max. Dun itchy backside keep moving them around hor. Good to see Tigger doing well. Real hardy fella. Kamikaze 3 times and still surviving. War veteran this one You added 2 more cute clowns.... try to control feeding hor. Fishes do not need a lot of food to survive one. just feed once or twice a day a small amount each time. You may know this already but just in case. For the feathers, they may drop out of the tube sometimes. do not discard the tube away. They will regenerate new ones.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted January 1, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted January 1, 2010 Tigger is war vetearn!!!lolz. Anyone know where can get marine plants?wanna put some atthe back of my tank... hi bro kimkim. you can get almost all marine plants at coral farm, with the exception of ulva and chaetomorpha. caulerpa, bamboo, red grapes, etc are all available there and are very cheap. some LFS in pasir ris may carry them but the variety is not large, and not as big/beautiful as those at CF. do remember to provide your marine plants with good flow and trim them when they grow too large. flow is very important to prevent your algae going sexual. this means the algae releases spores and gametes into the water and will cloud your tank severely. the parent algae will die and the spores/gametes will be the future lineage to the parent. this can potentially crash your tank due to the abundance in nutrients.
