Tina's Twin Bommies

[TigerIssey]

I used phyto for them to come out like that Bud

Did you see the Duncs or did you post at the same time??

Try summit with a bit of meatiness in it,lol....Duncs really looking well too, love the stripes across them radiating into the oral disc..stunners

 

[TigerIssey]

I did bud, the stupid blood shrimps were all over it nicking the food. Need to find a way to weight down the top a pop bottle so the little #105###s cannot steal the food. Thats when I used some phyto, at least they got some of that.

Do you reckon some epoxy around the bottom of the pop bottle would weigh it down enough, its on rocks you see.

 

[Buddyboy67]

Should do..I have to stand on arm of chair and chase the cleaners away with a barrel rod from my rifle when feeding mine and the scoly,lol....great little cuc when required but rite little terrors when spot feeding. Try squirting some frozen food juice around them, then feed 20 mins later as they should be fully open then and ready to grab any food that touches them..works a treat for me.....will trigger a feeding response in all your lps at the same time !!!

 

[TigerIssey]

I chased them with the long pipette I have for feeding the Mandarins and spot feeding. Did not get there quick enough though.

Will try the juice trick

Looks like I turned into a fish Bud (Tuna)

Mandy's do seem to be doing really well.

Thans for that with the Bangaii, I suspected female but was not sure.

Would like to get a male in the 6ft.

looking great, how on earth do you keep the back so clean

[Buddyboy67]

Ooops.....
do you come fresh by the kilo then or just in a tin

 

[TigerIssey]

Seffie, its not really that clean. I give the bits that show on the photos a good clean with my razor type algae scraper and I have a scrubber (similar to scrubber on washing up sponge) that is on a stick.

Behind the bommies is covered in algae, leave it there for the inhabitants, plus I can't reach those bits properley.

Am tempted to go black on the 6ft though, photos were easier and the odd spot of algae did not look so bad, this needs to be scraped at least once a week to keep it clean. If I am doing pics, I tend to give it a scrape about an hour before taking them.

 

[TigerIssey]

I have put these piccies elsewhere on the site but I want them in my journal anyway.

The sun coral after following Buddyboys tips.

Caesar being a very intelligent boy.

My Mandarin was wanting some frozen food tonight, the shrimp kept getting to it before him.


This is his solution

What a Clever Boy

 

[Luketendo]
