Let's see if this works better than last time. |
Whats that 3rd fish?
Good luck with these. You have some experience and I'm sure these will survive. |

These two flew in from Hawaii this morning, so nice and fresh. Both fat, well acclimated now, so we'll see. Of course, since I ordered a spare, I now have 2 which may turn out to be a struggle. Adding to DT in a few minutes and we'll see what happens. |
Good luck. Hope they work out for you this time.
|
And.....
|
So far adapting well together, had to remove a nasty yellow tang at midnight. Haven't fed yet, but about to try now.
|
Good luck Brad , hopefully all goes well this time.
|
Not eating yet, but it's early. Otherwise look comfy in there :)
|
I think that having them from Hawaii is definetly a plus, especially if they're fat and sassy to begin with. The last idol I had was just over a year old, I ended up moving and lost in the move. Never tried one since but I never had much problems to begin with, it ate from day one.
At any rate, good luck, third times a charm I've heard. |
is anyone running a pool on this?
|
Kept one back in the mid-80s (yeah, feeling old) in a 108g FO tank with no live rock (what was that?) and no skimmer (same question). It ate everything I fed to my other fish, including pieces of shrimp, squid & smelts. Had it for almost a year until I sold it when I shut down that tank. Since the age of the Internet, I now have learned how hard these are to keep alive in captivity. Maybe ignorance is bliss after all.:lol:

Morning #2. No interest in Italian Mysis. Going to try blanched kale shortly, with a side of brine shrimp.
|
Both now eating some (food) clams, so it's a start.
|
Thats good news. How bout a pic
|
|
That's the same thing I did with Copperband. After my first disaster, I bought 2. They didn't touch any food after 10 days, now I got two both eating well.
Your Idols are looking Sassy! :mrgreen: Good luck with them Brad. Please let us know how you did. :biggrin: |
Good to hear brad! I don't think providing them with a bit of purple nori throughout the day will hurt. Mine looked exactly like the skinny one you got before it started on nori and look at him now, huge!
|
Rich, where is purple nori sourced?
|
Two little fishes purple nori sheets. Sold at Jl

Is your tank glass prescription, or that clear nice low iron stuff?
|
did you see the copper banded butterfly feeding apparatus that was featured in reef hobbyist magazine?
I thought it might also work to engage an MI |
