SRC Member PaulPaul01 Posted July 9, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi guys, I met up with a fellow saltwater hobbyist, who also happens to be my neighbour, who made keeping the above mentioned fish look easy. I'm unsure if this is general knowledge, but he feeds his fish a product called 'Masstick'. The fish ate it very readily, and even ate it from his hand (including other butterflies and a few Clownfish). They look very happy and have very strong colours. Sorry, I cannot post any photos as I did not take any as I was too shy haha. So yes, this is just an FYI to any other FOWLR hobbyists out there who are hesitant to keep both of these fish because of their feeding requirements:) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvinmingming Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 And may I know where can buy those fish ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member milu_kaka Posted July 28, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted July 28, 2020 And may I know where can buy those fish ? You can find CB at Cf almost all the time and MI recently for many shipments. Keep a lookout for Ahbeng , Iwarna shipment. You might get lucky. But from what I know both these fishes are very picky when it comes to diet!!

SRC Member longipods Posted July 28, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted July 28, 2020 From my own experience, they do respond to clams (la la). I would pry open the clams and throw them into the tank. They will feed, but they are slow feeders. So if their tank mates are quick, you might need to throw a few more clams in. One drawback is that you will need to dispose of the shells regularly.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus wash it and put into tank or need to boil?Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member longipods Posted October 3, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2020 Fresh ones, I just pry them open and throw them into the tank. The rest I will throw into the freezer. Next feed, pry them open and throw into tank. They will thaw fairly quickly, and once the fishes are used to the clams, they will attack it, fresh or frozen.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
