  1. U can try Marine Life Hobbielist at Hong Leong Garden.... I bought mine there... have been with me for 3months liao.... but remember to get some shelves for it to change "house"....
  2. Hi Flubberina13, Tried soaking the pellets with a bit of my tank water and also added a bit of cyclop-eeze for about 30minutes.... the pellets became soft and easily sucked in by the polys.... waited for about 20 minutes, they did not spit them out.... thanks.... i guessed your method worked....
  3. ok, thanks flubberina13... i quite like the idea of feeding it with the pellet, less waste to introduce into the tank.... maybe i will try it later to see whether they spit them out again... very hardworking feeding your pets indeed....
  4. tried the pellets on my sun coral last night... the individual poly sucked in the pellet quite readily.... but u need to observe it carefully, because after 5 to 10 minutes or so, all the polys will spit the pellets out.... quite amazing.... flubberina13, did your sun coral spit out the pellets after a while? I fed mine with cyclop-eeze and mysis shrimps and it ate it quite well. Maybe i should try the pellets again.... But, next time when u feed ur coral, please help to verify whether they will spit them out after 5 minutes? thanks.
  5. 25 dollars for a PT is not expensive.... normally, they are about 30 to 35 dollars for a one and half inch PT.... If it is a YT, then it is expensive. how big is your PT? need to acclimate it properly....
  6. wow, nice sun coral.... saw this website on how they feed the sun-coral.... http://reefrancher.com/diy/lunarlander/
  7. I think it's a matter of luck whether you get one that eats fish food other than the "things" on the skins of fish. Based on my experience, cleaner shrimp, is quite effective in "cleaning" the fish initially, however, after sometimes, it gets a bit lazy and stops working on the fish unless the fish is very near them and remains stationary. Doctor fish, however, will follow the fish wherever it goes and cleans the stuff off the fish. They are quite persistent in doing it. They are quite clever to hide during the night and appeared only during feeding time. If you can get one that feed on fish food, it should have no problem surviving for a very long time.... i couldn't imagine what would happen to my tangs without them....
  8. based on my experience, you need to create a cave or hole for your regal tang to hide when you first introduce it.... also need to properly acclimatise your tang which could take more than an hour.... do it slowly.... take note that your tang must not be smaller than the other occupants in your tank.... of course, choosing a healthy specimen initially is very important... when i first introduced my tang, it also swam on the top and then it quickly found a cave to hide (to protect itself from the other tangs and to adjust to the environment within the protection form the cave).... the next day, it will come out to feed and you can feed it with flakes soaked with garlic juice.... it worked for me though.... my advice is that at any LFS, observe the fish for a while before deciding whether it is healthy to buy...
  9. ninth attempt..... took me about 30 minutes....
  10. got one from ML 3 months ago... i saw that it was eating food that henry fed it and bought it.... still surviving and snatching food from my tangs and ricordea (mysis shrimps placed on the ric).... well, i'm quite lucky to get one that feed on the things on the skins of my tangs and anything that i throw in for the feed.... Now, my cleaner shrimp has retired and stopped cleaning my tangs....
  11. me JK5.... this year 4th year liao.... tried to siam KINS but still kena KINS...
  12. two weeks seemed a bit long.... but then if it is not sick, then should be ok... give it some time to adjust.... btw, do you have other fish around? do it come out when the lights are off?
  13. IMO, it depends.... sometimes, if you are lucky, they don't fight... but for mine, they fight initially but now they are living happily together with the occasion of chasing each other out of their caves.... attached is a picture of my YT and PT....
  14. IMO, could be dead when it did not appear for a couple of days.... my doctor fish will go and hide when the lights are off and will be around when it is feeding time.... during feeding it will also try to clean the parasites on the tang and clowns.... until now, i'm still cannot find its hiding place.... it's quite interesting if i can find out where it is hiding.... maybe videocam the tank just before and after lights off...
  15. Hi bwilly, before i bought the PT, the shopowner already told me that 30 bucks is ok... so big or small, the price is the same... i guessed they had too many PTs around, can you imagine if you got 200 PTs to sell and what happens if half of them go to heaven... got to sell fast, right? going to monitor the PT for a couple of days before i transfered my precious YT over... dun want to risk the YT getting infected... my wife and i still preferred YT over PT because my YT's yellow colour is very intense
