New Wild Caught Fish / Inverts
« on: January 31, 2018, 21:52:40 »
Received an order of wild caught fish/inverts this week. If you had special requests in for specific fish and I didn’t contact you it is because that particular fish was not in stock or not the size you wanted. Those that did get contacted I will be open Saturday from 11am-3pm for pickup. If you opted for copper treatment they will be ready in 21 days.
I also picked up some extra fish and inverts that are available. Due to space constraints I didn’t order tangs. Many folks wanted copperband butterfly’s so using the space for those this go around.

Hows the qt going with the copperbands?  They looked really nice last weekend but I know how hard it can be to get them eating which is a shame since they are such a beautiful fish.

merlin said at the meeting that corals galore has live black worms, and sometimes those clams on the half shell work too...

They can be difficult.

Lazy you think having a number of them teaches those who aren’t eating to eat?

Also lazy which is harder to get going—. The copperbands or the moorish idols?

Yes I do think having others teach them. It seems after a couple start eating more join in. So maybe there is something to that.

Moorish idol is much easier to get to eat. However they must have fast metabolisms because they need to eat a lot more to not waste away. The moorish idol also seem to ship very poorly. Idols will eat most everything and the copperband only eat a couple types of food if lucky.

Hi Miles, all the CBB are spoken for. If most fish get picked up this week I can order more. It takes 21 days to get through quarantine after arrival.

If you could order on for me the next time around that would be great.

I got a report from someone that picked up a cbb Yesterday that it has already made a big dent in their aptasia population. Hope everyone has luck. They are eating mysis and brine as well.

Does anyone know where I can get clams on 1/2 shell? I hear they take to that good as well. Would like to have that as well for next batch. Looking for a grocery store where I can get them. The pet store retail package is pricey.

i have bought them at i think gerbers but more pricey then grocery. my copperband doesn't seem to care for them. I highly recommend live black worms for anyone struggling to get a copperband to eat.

Mine has not been eating mysis, he has been picking at the rock, so I swapped a new piece of live rock in.

CG does have black worms, just grabbed them today.  3.99 for 2 oz by volume.  Not sure how hard they are to culture.... here is a link to buy bigger volumes. https://www.aquaticfoods.com/BlackwormCareM.html

By the way...... coral and fish quality is nothing compare to Lazy’s Frag House.

PaulB has a thread on R2R for raising white worm. Work as well as black worms but less nutritious. Very simple to raise. I may try it as well.

Took him a little, but started devouring the worms.  The clownfish loved them too....the little guy sucking them up like spaghetti.

Talk about aptasia control. I bought one of those copper band butterflies. While it is eating mysis shrimp it also cleared out a 4"x8" patch of aptasia in just a couple days.

I got my CBB from Brian last weekend, and after just a few days, I do not have one aptasia in my tank! On an even better note, he is absolutely destroying the Mysis I feed the tank with. Now I need a tang to control the hair algae 😁 Brian, here I come lol.

Mine is picking at my rocks but isnt eating my mysis yet.  I am feeding black worms which it is eating good.  What brand of mysis are you all feeding that your cbb is eating?  I bought San Fransisco brand.
thanks

I use BSD Mysis. I think the trick was feeding Mysis and Brine for the first few days, then switching to only Mysis.
