Nice photos Ryan, wish I could get just some of that color!

roktsintst · 04/05/2010, 05:23 PM

Thanks Buddy!

roktsintst · 04/05/2010, 05:25 PM

I really liked how the Naso decided to pose as a background for the Multi!

TheMikey · 04/05/2010, 06:10 PM

Are those multibars picking at your sps?

roktsintst · 04/05/2010, 06:33 PM

Not really...

They pick around the rock but i've never seen them doing any damage! The corals dont seem to mind any!

roktsintst · 04/05/2010, 11:08 PM

Thanks!

My Venustus and Resplendent Anthias Came in today.

Everyone is doing good at this point! The Venustus came in with a swollen mouth. Not sure what caused it, so im gonna dip it in some Furan Later...

DanW · 04/06/2010, 02:59 PM

Ryan I love the P. venustus interested to see how she does for you. I've heard that they are hard fish to keep. Good luck.

roktsintst · 04/06/2010, 03:07 PM

Thanks Dan! Im very excited about him!

pookstreet · 04/06/2010, 08:25 PM

Hope the Venustus get better! Keep us undated on whether it eats or not.

stunreefer · 04/07/2010, 08:47 AM

+1, GL on the venustus man!

I had good luck with some algae covered rubble with a bit of sponge on it. Once it picked at that pretty well I started shoving food into the rubble, and he would pick it out. Eventually he ate the same foods out of the water column... then I stupidly sold him before a move. That was my second one, good experience, the first experience was not a happy ending

rigleautomotive · 04/07/2010, 08:56 AM

Looking good ryan,I love the granulosa
