Mattias first saltwater build :)

[coffeetwitch]

seeding with pods every chance i get so that in a few months i can. i havent decided on the blue or the red yet.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Cool. Will you get an Ora?

 

[coffeetwitch]

probably not. the ones we get in town are not ora. and if i do red from LA those are not ora either.


i know i hate waiting.

 

[needmorecowbell]

I hate waiting too lol.. I had a question about the six line, is there anything hard about keeping them or is it all just normal?

 

[coffeetwitch]

sadly i wish i knew more about them.

From what I hear, pretty easy.

Luckily there's a lfs here that sells them. I won't get mine online because you never know if it really eats prepared foods. I'll make sure it eats prepared before I purchase.

lucky you, here in springfield mo. we are very restricted as far as stores. and their inventory. sure they say they can order fish. but thats not the same as seeing the same fish for a while in their water making sure its ok to buy.

Exactly. That's basically someone ordering it for you and then giving it to you.(same as you ordering it) I like to see what I buy no matter what it is. And shop around to get the best price.

Another Missouri reefer. Howdy. It's worse here in Columbia...just one small LFS, but the gal who runs it is knowledgable.

 

[coffeetwitch]

yes sir. i would have thought columbia was big enough to have more. personally i think its amazing that we have what we have here.

There is a store in Jeff City that I have not seen yet. We had another store but they moved back to Mexico Mo. I use to have a store here for years, but found better things to do. Back in the 70's when saltwater was really experimental...and very unrewarding.

My six line does great with no special care in the world. He eats the pellets like a pig and is a great addition to my tank.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Alright thanks!

 

[Gregcoyote]

They can get pretty pushy for a wrasse, but a good addition to the reef.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Omg!!!! I never knew you could put a blue reef chromis in a biocube?!?!?! I shall get one. So here we go:
1 occelaris clown
1 royal gramma
1 bangaii cardinal
1 yellow watchman goby
1 purple firefish
1 blue reef chromis
my life is complete<3

 

[coffeetwitch]

im a fan of the blue reef chromis.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Yeah there beautiful! I've been looking for the 6th fish and I was about sold on the six line when I found this! Beauty and it's active.

 

[kurtyboh]

Yeah but chromis are really social and wont do as well without more of them

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Really?
