Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have a trio of californians and my bucks about to go to camp Kenmore
We looked at Californians and New Zealand reds. We were gonna get a trio of each and planned on crossing them.

That or Silver Foxes.
 
We don't raise them we just hunt them lol
We raise them. If done right it's like 2/3 the price of the bulk family pack chicken at the store but wayyyy tastier and a trio can feed a family of 3 or 4
 
Or put it in manual mode and bump the white balance as high as it goes.
That's what I've done. It doesn't get rid of any blue but it does make fish and coral color better.

Silver foxes are super common where I live. I want another californian buck but they are hard to come by around me so I might just get whatever for meat mutts
 
We raise them. If done right it's like 2/3 the price of the bulk family pack chicken at the store but wayyyy tastier and a trio can feed a family of 3 or 4
AND they don't get worms if raised and fed correctly unlike wild rabbits out here.

We bought some one with the plan to raise them and all 6 of them ended up being bucks. Lol

Correct! Super super easy and low maintenance

Either a bad draw or someone was being jerks!
 
Bucks aren't worth much of you're not showing them. They're only good for eating.
