TODAY is day 6 Ooops I miscounted. The 22nd was day 4. Yesterday was day 5. Water conditions fine. I fed newly hatched brine shrimp. I find it ridiculous to try and get 7 shrimp per fish since I only hvae 5 fish total. My biggest concern is the bigger clowns eat all the brine and die of...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax that stinks. happy holidays! and hopefully you'll have some time to devote to the 'hobby' ;D

Unfortunately it happens to the best of us: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2009/3/aafeature1 I do not dose phyto as I have no interest in keeping tube worms or vermetid snails alive. With my luck I dose phyto and those unintentional hitchers live, and the pretty feather duster dies. The...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax bummer on the clown. My female jumped out a while back...thank goodness we were home. I dunno what caused it since she is the boss (though maybe she was fighting with the kole). Who knows.

Thanks - reading it again - I do see the humor in it! ;) Day 5 - knock on wood - no fatalities - but 3 of them are swimming a little strange. Sigh...

my alternator died on me once. I got jumped at a gas station in front of the holland tunnel. It was a hot miserable humid day. At the time we lived in the city and I only had 1 kid. We rolled the windows down and waited 30 minutes - then tried to make it into the city before rush hour started...

Been busy with rearing the baby percs. Today is day 4. None dead this morning but the water quality is going foul fast. Did multiple water changes and will likely need to do another. Supplies arrived from Brine Shrimp Direct yesterday: ROtifer Sieve: Decapsulated brineshrimp insulated: BS...

+1 to what rich said! i was expecting a picture of like 10 feet of snow. Sorry to hear about this. Hope she gets better soon.

by Isabelle Toussaint and Jurgen Hecker Isabelle Toussaint And Jurgen Hecker Sun Dec 20, 3:23 pm ET PARIS (AFP) – Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study which says the carbon pawprint of a pet dog is more than double that of a gas-guzzling...

so do you steam them later for eats? ;)

One more dead this morning. I think the co-culturing is not the right move. I finally got the rotifer sieve, decap'd brine shrimp today. Great packaging by brineshrimpdirect. Will post a separate thread on that. The ammonia badge is starting to show some ammonia. I did a partial water change...

yep - done that. The remaining fish appear to sight the food fine. Just not sure what exactly caused the death of the two. They were thin though and swimming down into the bottom - hence my theory that the light above shocked them to death this morning. Or maybe they ate too many thin rotifers...

Ah....2 more dead today. I don't know if they were just messed up by the light or lack of eating. One of my rotifer cultures appears to have crashed - the 3 brine shrimp all dead /MIA in there. I read in wilkerson's book an adult brine shrimp is like a canary in the mine for the culture. I am...

they are so tiny - it's like a little eyelash next to the ammonia badge. I will try later.

rotifer sieve, brine shrimp eggs (de-capsulated) should all arrive tomorrow. I also ordered another batch of rotifer cysts but I don't think I will need those since I only have 8 babies. I guess they can be stored for the future.

So I am winging it now... As I don't have a rotifer sieve, I've decided to try co-culturing the rotifers with the larvae and see how that goes. There are still 8 babies in the tank. I miscounted somehow. So I must have seen a total of 10. missed one in the display. So that means I caught a...

UGH! It looks like they just all got eaten by mommy. I'm guesssing she didn't like the fact they were still on the wall after 8 days. I dunno. But there are NO babies on the wall now. So I guess my save rate is only like 5% since all the others were eaten. :'( Now I've got to focus on the...

I sat by my pc and watched a jackie chan movie on hulu.com. Every time there was a commercial break, I got up to check the water surface. I went to bed at around 4AM. I was disappointed I didn't get the "hundred" fry on one scoop. But all my checking of the eggs must have delayed their hatch a...

Thanks!!!!! ;D I appear to have "saved" a total of 8 from the display. I definitely lost one in the display - it went down instead of up and my cardinalfish sleep "down" there... Of the 8 - one of them was dead this morning. So I have 7 left. My rotifer sieve has not arrived from Brineshrimp...

they aren't cooperating. These first 6 decided to come first. The rest are still on the tank wall. Waiting.... ::)
