Weekly Update 27th Dec - 2nd Jan 2010

I have a qns. Do these butterfly by any chance eating corals or stuff?

this group of butterflies, the roaps, which include declivis, tinkeri, burgess, mitratus and flavocoronatus are quite safe. i have a declivis in my tank with all kinds of corals and it doesnt eat them. keep them well fed.

but this group is not 100% reef safe. i would rate them about 50%. so buy them at your own risk.

the prognathodes marcellae from africa is more safe. about 80-90% reef safe.

As with what Lemon has say, the ROAPS are quite safe with corals. They live deep where there are not much corals growing so they are pretty much planktivore. Treat them as how you treat dwarf angel.

I would risk anything for a pair of ROAPS. :P:P

they are quite reef safe.

but to be safe, i would rate them only 50%. because not many people dare to put them in reefs and since everyone is always on a precautionary site, i always tend to rate them lower.

but treat them as any dwarf angel. sometimes eat, sometimes don't.

for me i just put. butterflies from the genus chelmon, focipiger, roaps, prognathodes and hemitaurichthys all considered v safe to me

Wow expected mystery wrasse to be around $100 :(

Btw lemon, I'm not really getting your point here, so do you mean these the declivis, tinkeri, burgess, mitratus and flavocoronatus are quite safe at 50% only?

Wait for LCK M. Wrasse shipment.. u pay 3 more red notes extra from your expectation... Cheers..

mystery wrasse at lck is $80 if im not wrong. but i doubt im wrong.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

how are you? do catch up soon.

steven pricing for me is the same as yours or the like.

its that time of carribean shipment with many mystery, helflichi, multi-color and flame hawk.

that time was $80. didnt know if the price is up or down. perhaps its from different source that judge the difference in price.
