Battle of the sailfin tangs: Sailfin vs Desjardini tang

[Eagle_Steve]

When you purchased your Anthias how did you QT them? if at all? and what did you feed them. I love fat heads and would like to add about 6 to the tank.

Also what do you feed them, I know you said you do a DIY but what is in it?

I am currently QT'ing 5x sunbursts. I do hybrid ttm for 90% of any QT I do. As for feeding them, I have been breeding tisbe pods for quite a while and they get some of them, along with my DIY food.

For the DIY, it consists of the below.

Mysis (either PE or SF bay)
Nori
Garcilliria
little neck clams
chopped shrimp of diff sizes
Mussels
scallops (I buy them when on sale)
tilapia finely sliced into diff size bits
freeze dried Calanus
freeze dried rotifiers
freeze dried copepod powder
freeze dried paracoccus powder
freeze dried spirulina powder
squid (chopped up to be very fine)
blackworms (my anthias love these)
reef nutrition roe
selcon

Sorry to keep bothering you, Where do you get black worms from? the last couple of days I have heard a ton about the value of black and white worms.

I really dont want to have to build my own culture.

I have a culture, but tons of sellers on EBAY with good ratings.
