MYSIS SHRIMP - FREEZE DRIED

[slojim]

I admit I mostly feed frozen, but I also feed freeze dried. I think my 6 line ate that exclusively and seemed robust.
I'd like to try that avast feeder, but it is pricey, and I already have an eheim for vacations and extra feedings. (I have some avast gear, good stuff, good customer service, no complaints there). But if I imagine that it feeds freeze dried, and if a cube a day of frozen is $100/year, and an equivalent amount of freeze dried is, I'm not sure, but it feels like $25/yr, then hey, getting close to a 2 year payback!

In my moments of hate I have considered a mini harpoon.. but.. it is not the fish's fault for eating it's normal food.. It's my fault for inviting him into my tank... Sometimes you roll the dice and they come up snake eyes. Sometimes it works out... They are truly beautiful fish. I wanted something yellow that wasn't a yellow tang and have lots of coral. I figured it would browse.. not select specific corals and destoy.

try to section off tank into smallest you can w eggcrate ,him on short end ,move stuff ,get him,put back ;)

My tank is too full.. and it is too skittish.. All of the many other fish eat from my hand.. but not this one.. I think it can sense the hate.. even though I have never been aggressive towards it. You can see him behind the Emperor angle in the cave.

I took this photo of the devil fish today! A beatifyl fish, but it has caused so much damage to expensive corals... It is a connoisseur. It doesn't touch inexpensive coral.

There is no way to move things and there is no way to section the tank off... Too much coral.. The photo below captures his/her personality perfectly!

If I could I would... Stun gun? Mini harpoon?

 

[fishguy242]

i'd say no stun gun..mini harpoon diy :cool: can also try fishnet netting in areas he darts/sleeps ,scare into tangle?? chin barb may catch?

 

[Ben Pedersen]

I have too many other fish for a chin barb and have tried the net. :(

Going to have to wait until I move into my next tank.

|---7"---|------12"------|---7"---|

 

[Ben Pedersen]

The pumps take about 7" each.. There is one on each side. The body is 12" wide.

 

[Ben Pedersen]

So, around 26" total width.. That is one of the reasons I was considering just putting a single pump in the body.
