Hi jane, is the golden in a beta box or in the main tank already? For these kind of super difficult to feed fish, I think it is better to release it into the main tank and let them peck around, at least they will find their own food and not so stress, after sometime they will see what the rest of the fishes is doing and follow also. This is what I do to my regal and pottery angel, the regal start feeding on pellet after 6mth, the recently bought pottery is not feeding but it is pecking around and getting fatter also, I think in a matter of time it will feed to feed also. Hopefully. :evil:

Hi Guys/Desi, IMO, water change serve as a very immediate and effective way of nutrient export. The frequency or % change really depends on the feeding regime of individual reef tank. Visual insp

Desi, I'm no expert with fish, but I hear that if you keep the Sg slightly lower, I.e. Hyposalinity, you can help them to reduce their stress. I dunno how true, but somehow it works for some. How abt

hey mengyang,

yeah we have released it last night after spending only a couple of hours in the beta as we notice it was pecking at the beta box but not at ANY Of the food we throw in... :( and after checking around, I think it's better to release than to beta it. sigh...at first it was following the Powder blue around like a puppy... LOL machiam like Orientation... then after that it totally disappeared within the rockwork of my 3 footer. LOL Don't know where it is!!! How can such a big angel ( compared to my other tiny dwarf angels).. disappear completely! LOL

:)

Cheers, ;)

Dun worry, most likely it is hidding in a safe place from all the big fishes, give it sometime and it will come out after a while. =)

It's swimming around but so far no sign of eating... keeping fingers and toes crossed :(

We transferred 2 pieces of liverock over with a little sponge on it to see if it will nip... we shall see today.

Good good, as long as it is out swimming, it should be fine. All the best. :groupwavereversed:

I placed all my clams in the sump because I realise that my sand has worms and all the clams I put in the main tank always end up dying... so I decided to shift them all to the sump and be part of my natural biological filtration. :)

Cheers, ;)

it's been 7 months or so since I posted anything so here's a quick picture update of the 4 footer tank.

The 3 footer with dwarf angels is doing ok.

We Have suffered some losses as due to some major commitment the tank system has been sadly neglected but all the old Lao jiow fish which have been with us since 1 jan 2010 are still around!

The clams are in the sump powered by my Par38 Led. I love clams. :)

wait until the newbie 99.99% survival rate then I post la... otherwise sad if anything should happen. :P Ironically because I haven't been maintaining the tank is vigilantly as I did before ( weekly WC has turned to 3 weekly WC!) some nice zoos has uplorried but strangely my SPS is still alive.

Lost all my 6 Bartlet Anthias over the course of the past 7-8 months. Flame wrasse ( suddenly went down dunno why), Blue Mandarin ( with me for a year plus) disappeared last week or so, golden rhomboid ( jumped out).

So now my livestock in my 4 footer is as follows :-

1. Blue Tang

2. Yellow Tang

3. 2 Black Clown fish

4. 1 moster of a Green WRasse

5. 1 Lineteus wrasse turning alpha

6. 1 Flame Hawk

7. 1 Midas Blenny

8. 1 Powder Brown Tang ( in beta right now to let the newbie get established)

9. 1 Algae blenny

10. THe newbie tang .. :P

11. 2 Cleaner shrimp

12. 1 six line wrasse

13. 1 sallylight foot crab

14. A few surviving NArsarious snails and 2-3 starfish

In the 3 footer ( dwarf angel tank) :-

1. 1 lemonpeel angel

2. 1 fisherie angel

3. 2 Flame Angels

4. 1 Brazillian Flame Back

5. 1 Neon goby

6. 1 Algae blenny

7. 1 true perc

8. 2 Picasso clowns ( 1 suddenly disappeared yesterday so I'm hoping it's hiding as I can't find any dead body ANYWHERE!)

9. 1 Coral beauty Angel

10. 1 cleaner wrasse

11. 1 yellow wrasse

12. 1 sallylight foot crab

13. 2 Starfish

14. 1 leopard wrasse

My 3 footer seems to have more in it but the fish in there are pretty small, fish in my 4 footer is allot bigger than the fishys in the 3 footer. :) Both tanks are sharing the same sump. :)

Cheers, ;)

      CONTACT MUYERN TRUST HACKER TO RECOVER LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN

      ( whats app:: +-1 /863/60/68/347 ) ( Mail; muyerntrusted[at] mail-me [dot] c o m ) I can still recall the unsuspecting exchange with my friend that was the gateway to a devastating scam orchestrated by hackers. Little did I know, his account had been compromised, and I was unwittingly drawn into their web of deceit. Over two days, the conversation turned sinister as I was roped into promoting Bitcoin mining and creating promotional videos for a dubious company under my friend's endorsement. In the blink of an eye, my account became a tool for perpetrating fraud, as the hackers exploited my credibility to scam my friends on Instagram. The losses were staggering, with $300,000 worth of Bitcoin and cash vanishing into thin air, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. As accusations flew and fingers pointed, I was cast as the unwitting villain in a nightmare of my own. Turning to the online abyss for answers, I stumbled upon the Muyern Trust Hacker team, a beacon of hope in my darkest hour. The Muyern Trust Hacker team unraveled the intricate web of deception spun by the hackers, exposing the truth and clearing my name of any wrongdoing. With their help, I could reclaim my stolen assets and rebuild the bridges that had been burned in the firestorm of deceit. In the end, justice prevailed, and I emerged stronger and wiser from the crucible of adversity. Thanks to the Muyern Trust Hacker team, I was able to reclaim my reputation and regain the trust of my friends, proving that even in the face of betrayal, redemption is possible with the right support of Muyern Trust Hacker.
