Wah. Quite bad condition. You can try to save but I don't know how, my open brain also looked like that before it up lorry. I only saved bleached corals before Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Given away to a steady bro. Thanks all Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi people, I suspect my nano tank is leaking, so I have to give up my 2" Clarkii clown. Needs to be solo as he's quite aggressive. But otherwise quite cute fella with lots of personality. Collection at woodlands or Pasir Panjang area or nearby. Pm me for details please. Thanks http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58326eb41b0c9/DSC_0038.JPG Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately it looks like you might have to go fishless for 2 months at least, make sure all the parasites die off before you put in any new fish. Your water is probably polluted too, will have to change water to get rid of ammonia and other poisons as well as the medication, which might affect invertebrates. Best to check the water parameters too. Take care. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Wah.... That's a tricky situation. I think the store guy is correct in his advice, but if you have an ammonia problem, it might kill your fish faster than the disease. Better check your parameters asap. If they're ok, maybe you can just leave it as it is. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Agree with bro leong but if you want to be safe, do more frequent small water change and monitor ammonia, nitrite levels, make sure it's zero to reduce stress to fish. I think the demomposing corpse of the mandarin might be polluting the water with ammonia. A highly stressed fish cannot survive disease, even with medication. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

No man, mine dissolved after 5 months despite plankton dosing Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Thanks for your kind words bro Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

If you want to be kiasu, most parasites' reproduction cycles span from 2 weeks to 1 month. So keeping for 2 months is a guarantee to see any parasites appearing. Sometimes a fish may be infected but seems ok because the parasite has not fully grown. I kept fish inside my reef tank as long as few months before I transferred to my DT. Another cheat method, which is not 100% guarantee, is to buy from reliable fellow reefers here. At least you know they kept the fish for a period of time with no problem. But like I said, no guarantee. I also had fish die on me because they happened to develop problems due to stress or just somehow didn't adjust well to their new home etc. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice. I actually have that but mine is small, perhaps I need to buy a bigger one. I use an IOS tank due to lack of space, if not i think putting fish in a proper separate sump is a good move too. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I don't know about others but I usually just put my new arrivals into my reef tank, which has no livestock except snails and corals. So essentially it acts like a quarantine tank. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi all, I recently attempted to catch and give away my yellow angel as it was too aggressive towards his tank mates. After 2 weeks of trying to catch it with DIY bottle traps, my family surprisingly managed to catch it while i was at work. Not wanting to keep it inside a small bottle trap, I instructed them to fill a small tub (6" diameter) with tank water, put in an air stone and cover it but leave a small gap for air. Sadly, when i got home 6 hours later, the angel was dead. 3 things i observed: 1. My family had thrown in fish food 2. The angel pooped a lot 3. The air stone dropped off the hose, and the hose did not touch the water. Earlier on when i asked them to check on the angel, the air stone was fine. So i estimate that the hose probably fell out for about 1-2 hours I feel terrible for accidentally killing the poor guy. Looking at my angel, I'm not sure how it died. i think that it either died because of a) stress, ammonia from poop and decaying food, or c) lack of circulation. Stress could be a cause, as my folks did say the fish kept poking his head out of the water and looked distressed. I don't think that he could have been poisoned by his own poop within 6 hours, and i don't think the fish food would start breaking down so quickly either. So I'm guessing most possible cause of death was lack of circulation, which depleted oxygen in the water. But is 1-2 hours without water movement really enough to kill? So, in the interest of not repeating such a stupid mistake, I'd like to ask bros who have sold their livestock here for tips and best practices. How do you all keep your livestock alive in isolation while waiting for buyer? Sigh. Thanks in advance.

Giving up my 3" yellow angel for adoption. He's a bit too aggressive towards my fairy wrasse. Very lively fellow and eats anything. He will peck at LPS but will leave softies alone. Already caught and in a small box. Note: not to be confused with yellow tang or lemon peel angel. This is a totally different species.

Hey bro, I think Tapatalk is buggy. I also pm you, did you receive? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

No, actually it's just my nano tank. I planted macroalgae instead of corals. Before I knew it, it became a jungle [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Is that caulerpa serrata? If so, i have a lot. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Yeah bro, I always miss the train [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Update: Bichirs taken Now offering my chaca catfish and Congo puffer for adoption instead. Just want them to have a good home soon. I reserve the right to choose who to release to, hope everyone understands. Please pm me to discuss, thanks.

Not sure about sps but I have managed to save bleached lps and softies before. Have to move them away from strong lighting and target feed with plankton or some other food until it slowly hosts new zooxantellae and regains color. But usually the color will be different. For example, my bright luminous green bubble coral bleached and recovered but is now brownish green, like a lime. My bleached hairy mushrooms turned into reddish brown with green tips.

I still haven't caught all the pokemon yet and my tank still not as nice as yours haha Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Aiyah I'm slow again!! Lol [emoji16] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

My yellow tail damsel is not aggressive, but I suspect it's only because there's two clownfish keeping him in check. Otherwise, I had another damsel that was absolute terror, even killed fish bigger than him Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi bro, I'm keen and can collect today. Please let me know if it's still available. Thank you. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Nothing, just leave it alone. Very hard to resist, I know. Haha Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
