@Angel_Anthias lover your little Mandarin is a porker. She must be eating well?

@Angel_Anthias lover your little Mandarin is a porker. She must be eating well?

Yea he eats very well, i dont target feed him anymore because he gets enough off the rocks now, but he used to always let me target feed him and he ate so well, he even ate in the bag when i first got him lol. Hes quite funny and every now and then he'll decide to puff up at the anthias for no reason which is funny to see his little tantrums.

@Angel_Anthias lover I love your assortment of fish. I'm trying to have an all-captive bred assortment of fish but it's going to be very tempting to sneaking in a fish that can't be found for sale as captive bred. I've always wanted a Bicolor Angel because my high school colors were royal blue and gold but I'm afraid they can't be found captive bred at this time. What is your Anthias specie that would be most suitable to a RSR 250 setup?

Hmmm for that size of thank id say one of the smaller species like the randalls/resplendent anthias maybe a trio. Possibly a trio of dispar or ignitus too instead
Also if your wanting an angel with those colours the argi/cherub angel is being CB by ORA i believe

@Angel_Anthias lover do you have a picture of the inside of your cabinet with all your equipment?

 

[Angel_Anthias lover]

Its a bit messy lol

 

[powers2001]

@Angel_Anthias lover I would say your equipment is working hard. Is that a pellet reactor I see on the left side of your sump?

Yes it is, well a media reactor if thats the same thing, it isnt in action lately however as something weird kept leaching from the rowaphos when it was working, turning the tank cloudy, even though it was rinsed and everything.. and ive forgotten about it lol, but the tanks been fine without it. Should get it running again however to try and limit algae growth

 

[powers2001]

@Angel_Anthias lover what is your feeding regimen, ingredients, and schedule like? Do you use an automatic feeder?

 

[Angel_Anthias lover]

No i dont use an automatic feeder, i feed manually about 3 times a day.
I feed a variety of frozen foods, with mysis being the staple.
I feed about 10am in the morning as my randalls anthias refuses to.come out when the lights turn on, so i feed them then so she gets some food
Then 2 or 3 times in the afternoon

Other foods i mix with the mysis includes frozen enriched beineshrimp, lobster eggs, fish eggs, copepods, red plankton, krill, prawn
