it could be called white bait too.

They are hardly available in my neighbourhood supermarkets.

It is usually available but most times they are prepacked and you have to look in the prepacked fish section.

No lah but NTUC normally have leh. I also see it at Carrefour, sometimes at Giant and nearly always at NTUC Extra.

Dun ask me about Sheng Shiong, Econ mini mart or Prime Supermart as I almost never go to these places...

u try shop and save first lor. Not sure if Hikari got the silverfish or not here. Normally I see only brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, blood worm etc.

hikari has but not sure if the LFS bring them or sell them...

supermarkets are still the cheaper alternative...

both sizes are pretty big bags unless u would like to buy off the wet market at a small portion... or drop by mossrope house and get some free frags along the way

Did weekly maintainence today, i finally got my silverfish from ntuc today..'pinky' was happy eating it today ..but my E.B hermit went to pull it out of its mouth...then after tat put my hermit in the breeder box..and the nxt moment my orange hermit oso did the same thing..#@$#@$!#

Had to change the position of my clam again..nearly topple my whole rockscape..peng...the hill became a platus liao..doink...oh well at least i now suddenly got extra space for more zoas liao..hurhurhur

did the weekly dosing and every1 looked happy, zoas opened quite alot today except for the usual problem RPEs..oh well...

Realised my blue sponge oso grew alot..form tiny size until i can say its small now instead..haha.. =p

Oh ya..the silverfin packing outside says to be consumed within 3 days and not to be re freezed...er.. so how do u all recommend to store it har?i put in a tupperware with some water inside it now, not didnt put in the freezer compartment..looks like gonna chop the silverfins before feeding my baby anemone nxt time..today gave it whole piece it cant finish..in the end my hermits had a great time instead haha..

i happen to come upon a great site for rose anemone oso..share with everyone --> http://www.karensroseanemones.com/index.html

You can refreeze the silver fish. No problem and you can keep it for a long time when frozen...

[jackywongto]

ummm so you just left everything on the sand bed?

[wilsontantw]

Good job. Seems like u got quite some zoas collection too.

The tank looks like they can do with some more LR to scape up. Let me know if u b

need. I've got some spare rocks.

Wished i had a bigger tank so at least my long arms can at least stretched abit haha...

Well heres my lumo yellow Brain..

Too bad didnt got to take a pic of my GSP before it closed and my dead pink alveo..

[jackywongto]

Thomas, dun use coral chip. I tried but its not very good.

BTW, since your pico is so small, I suggest instead of having assortment, maybe just stick with either zoas or rics/ yumas.

Maybe it will look nicer. just some food for thoughts. even a pico tank full of GSP only can look nice.

I need to head out to CF tml too to look at LR. Mossrope, if you and thomas going, give me a heads up.

Can do with a lift.
