That's exactly the line my husband quoted. LOL!
I'm about to put him in the tank- the fish, not my husband. Anyway, should I try to feed him some mysis tomorrow morning? I don't think I'll feed him tonight. And are pellets good to feed him? I have some omnivore pellets too. I'm so nervous that he will die. I hope he does well!
He'll be fine tonight without feeding. Most of my fish when I first get them won't eat the first day anyway. I like to turn the lights off when I put a new fish in. Help them ht accustom to there new home under the protection of the night.
You're patience was rewarded!!! \(^_^)/
New Life Spectrum omnivore is an excellent food.
I always try to feed my fish twice a day but very small amounts. I cut frozen food cubes into eighths or smaller. Once a day is fine, but the same amount of food broken into two feedings is better for the fish and easier on the tank (less waste). You can actually feed less total food to fish and keep them healthier if done this way. These guys are grazers in the wild. Honestly though, people have all kinds of feeding methods that work. This is only one. Overfeeding is the only method that never seems to keep a tank healthy.
Ok. I have the frozen mysis cubes and I just used a knife to scrape off a little chunk and fed him that. I will probably try feeding him 1x a day and see how that goes then. One cube is probably going to last me 3 weeks... Lol!
So... I've got some cyano. I swear it seems worse today and I just did a pwc yesterday (about 2.5 gallons). Anyway, is there something I can use to get rid of it? It's not out of control... Like it isn't all over my rocks and coral, but it's some on the sandbed in the front of the tank and there was a lovely patch of it behind the liverock that I removed during the pwc yesterday. It'd be nice if I didnt have to worry about it and have it gone.
Congrats on Blue!!! He's very pretty. Personally, i would rotate the food between the mysis, flakes and pellets. It's usually healthier than eating the same thing every day.
Well i dont use flakes i use pellets, but they are great. Nls pellets, every fish i have loves them... Corals do too!
New Life Spectrum. Probably the best saltwater pellets around. I love em.
