Dont know if these are regular fish for the freshwater fellas but natures world in sando have whiptail catfsh, upsidedown catfish and bumblebee catfish. (cant remember d prices) also saw some nice tetras and flame guaramis

[sharkman121]

any of u guys feed brine shrimp and/or mysis shrimp? I wanna add some variations to my feeding.

[HondaB20B]

i feed my fish pellets, flakes, live brine shrimp mysis shrimp, plankton and nori.............. i add 2 or 3 the same time sometimes. i keep switching the food so the day you run out of one type of food you always have another that way too, they never get dependant on one food source

[sharkman121]

^nice... all i feed right now are pellets and nori. Where u get the brine and mysis shrimp from...raj?

Checked raj yesterday, goin back today to buy a pair of clowns, a foxface, flame angel, 2 feather dusters, gfo media, some sand and some reef crystal salt.

Guys, started building a pond last week it's a small irregular shape but i average about 2700gallons (360 cubic feet) of water, planning to put some kois , sharks ,catfish etc. I'm looking for some recommendations on a proper pump set up and more importantly if there is any type of sealant that can be used for coating the concrete safely.
Also anyone know where i can get other type of fishes for it? Would really like a arowana, couple clown knife and some large catfish......
Will post some pics as soon as i reach home..

Watch d yellow tang and d foxface................. remember d tang in there a few wks now and the tank is his. he will fight because of same color. also watch it with the flame. i bought 5 bags of the reef crystal salt to fill my tank last wk.
the brine shrimp i buy by the pet store and hatch them out. also get the mysis y the petshop.

[sharkman121]

yeh i was a bit concerned about the coexistance of the tang and the foxface. I was thinkin that maybe they are different species they would coexist and not necessarily go off on color. The tang in there about 6 months now.

So i can basically go in any pet/fish shop and ask for brine or mysis shrimp then?

Hey guys i need yur help, my gf black moors have developed a white fungus all over there fins, can someone tell me how to treat it?

this is a sort of standard for this..(posted on pg93) :

1-hospital tank,
2-hit him salt & observe / wait for red to subside.
3-After two or three days, change water, hit salt again then m/blue & two more days
4- repeat 3 & go a week
5- now that two weeks hve passed, replace in original tank which has been sterilised , refilled , salted & reconditioned awaiting it's occupant all this time

BUT your sequence for step 2 is :

a) 2 tbl spns salt in 5 gal...plenty air...forget abt filter
after a couple of hours, you will observe the fungus spots hve 'dropped off'
b) 24hrs later...chnge water & hit 2tbl spns salt again
c) 24hrs later...chnge water, hit with 2tbl spns more PLUS metheylene blue
.
then step 3, etc, etc

ey sharkman, the 4ft Truelumen LED's from current USA actually has 144 LED's.

[sharkman121]

Yeh it really is great, however i decided against buying it for now. i ordered a next 4 x 48 T5 bulb light fixture to go with the one i already have. So now itll be 8 x 48".

No use having all that light and no coral though, ill just be fuelling algae growth so im looking forward to getting some coral.

[HondaB20B]

I think the background to dark............ should of gone with the blue.............. anyhow, to each his own

[HondaB20B]

still looking for a digital thermometer...............

[sharkman121]

glass looking frosty cuz i had jus wipe it down, it was looking normal wen i take it out but apparently it came out in the pic.

I think it looks good with the black background, trust me the pics do it no justice, it was taken with my berry. I really need to get a good camera for some detailed microshots especially for coral.

I ordered my digital thermometer online.

is that diatoms all over the overflow?

[streaminhonda]

This is my setup, nuttin too fancy thanks to the fish i got he basically picks things up from where i put them and places them where ever he likes... He's about 11-12 inches in length and about 2 1/2 - 3 inches thick, had two of them from about 1 1/2 inches in length at first but when they got to about 5 - 6 inches in length they started fighting and one jumped out when i wasn't home... I originally wanted to dig a pond for him but my yard aint fence so dat outtta d question, my next option was using a half tank but i really dont know how to setup something like this... Any suggestions???
