How's your new one doing? is it another painted?

My one has gone from a QT tank to a 10g with a couple of live rocks & mushrooms & seems to be settling in ok.

But he's not eating still.

I'll keep at it with the silversides & larger brineshrimp for now.

I might set up a bigger tank for him in the meantime. Maybe a 25-30g breeder tank.

Myka - he's ignoring mysis & I've tried chopped frozen tiger prawns but not whole smaller prawns.

Rippin - I've been looking at getting one of these for a long time & the ones that show up with amazing colours are few & expensive.

I've not seen one that had been weened onto dead foods at a LFS.

It's much easier for them to just throw in a few feeder fish or ghost shrimp than to take the time to ween them over.

Having said that, they'd make my like a LOT easier right now if they did!

my new frogs a worrty and hes doin great.

i wouldnt worry about the food thing till 3ish weeks, maybe try not feeding it for 4 days then try.. also if you dont have one you can buy a clear plastic fish feeding stick thing at most pet stores.

Wow - he's gorgeous. Where did you get him?

I had a break-though tonight. He bit onto the head of the silverside & stuck on for a few moments. I couldn't get the silverside off the skewer & when I tried to twist the skewer off, he let go

oh well!

Now I've seen him with his mouth open, I think the silverside was actually too big for him. Might have to trim it down a bit next time round.

I'll give it a couple of days & try again.

Excellent maybe try again tomorrow. if hes showing interest that means hes hungry enough to try eating anything.

I got it from Ian at Oceanic corals.

What other creatures in your tank do you have? Anything that you're concerned about getting killed?

[mark]

Nice looking fish you guys have.

From the backgrounds look they're in reefs, had any problems (either the cause or receptiant)?

In my tank i have a starry blennie, sexy shrimp, and a pepperment shrimp... the froggy doesnt show the least bit of intreset in anything other then pods and the silversides i feed it every 4 or so days.
