Thank you!

Yeah, I have been trying to shoot at night but with a 1 month old and a 7 year old, there is just barely enough time to feed the fish!

anyway i bought my emperor from lfs that holding it for me for a month now but i won't eat now. any suggestion? i try live brine, fresh nori,fresh home
made fish food and clams. it picks on the clams it but never really eat it ! it seems uninterested with every food i give it.its been day 5 i am really worried

No Clarion yet. I'll wait until i can find/afford a juvi! I've got this taste for expensive things that doesn't help my CC situation. I would be very cautious of flukes. If it does have them it will not eat and will fit the "swimming dead" category. A good way to tell is to do a Fresh water dip with it and that way you can see if it is infested with flukes which would be a reason it isnt eating. If it doesn't have flukes, I would just keep trying a variety of garlic soaked food and pristine water conditions...

Thank you very much! I've still got more things in mind to keep it changing. I just need more rock.

Things are looking great Ryan

roktsintst · 08/28/2010, 10:38 PM

Thanks Mark

!!!

Here are a few pictures of my Favorite new anthias. I've got 4 now and I want to add 6-10 more. I was looking through the best tanks of the world thread in the SPS forum and I realized I loved all the tanks with beautiful full SPS with but still an open aquascape, Beautiful Exotic fish, and lots of anthias... So I cant yet tell how many will be the right fit to leave me enough room for other fish including at least a few more wrasses...

And a cool picture showing my "special" Goldflake. He doesn't swim right at all. I thought he was a gonner months and months ago but he is still hanging in there. he doesn't swim with his tail at all and I've notices decreased mass around his tail. LIke how a paralized person looses muscle in their legs from lack of use. He swims upside down, does front flips and barrel rolls but once I put food in the tank he swims right again until the food is gone! He is Crazy!
