blackpuma

A few years ago, albert thiel advocated the use of vitamin C for fishes. Since it is acidic one will have to careful as it will lower PH. I have not tried it myself but I guess there is better stuff out there like beta glucan which is worth trying

Hi Loo, You are not the only one. I was keeping a 5 foot FOWLR and was like you travelling a lot. No time to enjoy my tank even in the weekends. After 20 years of this shit travelling, I have decided to give my travelling job for a lesser paying job that does not require travelling. I just started a 3 foot fowlr again and has been enjoying it ever since Blackpuma. Stationed in Singapore now and not around the world.

i use coralife salt also. The plain packaging is coralife. I beleive they open from box and sell individually. The packaging is 6.6kg per pack.

Bro Thanks for the comforting words and advice, I will try to start a air driven protien skimmer in my QT tank to see if I there is further improvement. Thank to all who replied.

Thanks for the reply. Do you use copper to treat your centropyge as well. In some websites they say that centropyge do not tolerate copper well Thanks

Hi Bros, Today my 3rd Centropyge died in QT. Fish 1, Goldie angel lasted for 1 week and died, not eating and always hiding. no Ich observed Fish 2, Potter angel, eating algae on the glass of the QT tank but keeps hiding on the third day and went up lorry on the 5th day. No Ich observed Fish 3, bi-color angel, eating cyclopeeze until yesterday, breathing very hard this morning before I go to work. Probably will go up lorry when I reach home after work. Observed light infestation of Ich yesterday morning and this morning, probably because of the dilution of the copper due to water changes I made. Fish 1 and 2 was quaratined user Cupramine per intructions. Fish 3, the bicolor was qurantined using half dose per seachem instructions. Water quality: Ammonia 0 No2 0 SG 1.021 Tank volume 51 litres. bros Please help, I am about to give up on dwarf angels.

Hi Bro, I provided some PVC tube in the QT tank for him to hide and the guy hide sometimes , but still went up lorry leh

Hi Bros, My potter died on me this morning after one week in my OT tank although not feeding in mid water, he has been grazing on the algae in my QT tank and seems healthy. No signs of ich, sunken stomach and pinched back when he went up the lorry. Any bro here with experience with this fish. Any sucees in keeping one in a fowlr.

There is no tung choi kai in singapore. The LFS sre scattered all over the island, the closest you can find is Serangoon north but it is no where near tung choi kai in terms of vast variety and range. Generally prices in Singapore for American and European products are much cheaper. If you are looking for products made in Asia, much cheaper to get in HK.

Hi All, Bot a golden angel 6 days ago, now in 42 liters copper QT but the guy shows no interest in brine shrimps. Always hiding in the PVC pipe I put in the tank and is very shy. How long does it takes for a goldie to start feeding. Tried cyclopeeze but also show no interest. Is it on it's way up the lorry ? Advise please.

Hi, Anyone got cheap tank stand to sell or give away. need for my 30" X 15" QT tank. Thanks

Hi All, Interested to buy 2 or 2.5 feet tank with stand for quarantine. Any cheap tank with a sturdy stand will do Thanks

Hey pommie, It's worth the travelling. It is better to have happy fishes in your tank than dead fishes. Definately not 50 % more something like 20 to 25 but his fishes are definately worth it. If his fish cannot survive, very likely there is somthing wrong with your tank

yes six liners are cleaners. My six line cleans my flame angel occasionally. Just pecking on my flame if he feels like it. My flame keeps still when he is near the six line but I am puzzled as to why the flame knows that the six liner is a cleaner because they don't come from the same geographical area and does not exist together in the wild.

I can testify that Marine Life's LS is of very good quality. I got 3 fishes from them and they are all happily swimming in my tank. I am no way related to Marine Life, just a happy customer with henry's service and his willingness to share his knowledge and advice.

I have a purple firefish which I have kept for already 1.5 months. He is quite hardy and eats everthing I throw into the tank. This fish is purchased from Henry of Marine Life and I strongly beleive the way the fish is captured plays a very important part. Henry told me his fish are MAC certified and I have every reason to beleive him. Blackpuma.

Hi All, After feeding the angel on meaty food for one week, he now shows little interest in pellet and other foods. He used to peck on algae on the glass and rocks but now don't seem to bother. I tried too wean him back to pallets but he just only take 2 or 3 ocean nutrition pellets and swims off Help, he is losing weight unless I feed him with brine shrimp or mysis shrimp.

To keep two clown fish in a 2 footer u need only undergravel filters. undergravel plates are really cheap. Use reverse flow if possible and a powerhead to drive the undergravel instead of air stones. Technology only plays a part but the main ingrediant in marine fishkeeping is patience. I have kept marine fishes using undergravel filters in the past, no problem at all. Have fun and enjoy this wonderful hobby. Keeping FO system need not be expensive.

Hi Bro, Try some raw prawn meat and perhaps a opened "tua tow" with shell intact, fish just love the smell of fresh seafood and should be attracted to it. Remember to remove any uneaten seafood immediately as it tends to foul water very quickly. Good luck and give your fish some time. I am sure it will eat if it is clean caught. BTW a few spots on the fish is OK and I would keep an eye on it to make sure it does not develop more spots. When I first introduce my flame, it had a couple of spots but disappeared after a few days.

I also bot fish from a pasir ris farm and it lasted me only one nite in my tank. Definately not my tank as fish from other LFS had no problem in my tank. I also see discount fishes offered in Pasir ris at almost half what a good LFS would charge. What gives ? maybe it is the way it is collected. my policy now is to buy fish from good LFS and pay a little more.

You can go to wetmedia.com to read all about flame angels. According to the site, there are flame angels from the Philippines and most Philippines fish are collected using cynide. It is also something new for me as I thot that Flame angels only come from Hawaii. There are also information about flame angels doing well for one month and die all of a sudden.

Hi Bro and sis, i already have a flame angel in my 3 footer, very tempted to add a golden angel in the tank. will they fight ? i have a 3 footer fowlr. Anybody tried this with success ?

Hi, Did you buy the fish immediately after the shipment arrived at the airport ? very likely the fish is too stressed. I also think your temperature is a bit too high. Sorry to hear of your loss

Hi I run a fowlr as well, the salt I have used so far is coral life. No problem at all for my fowlr. Not as cheap as red sea but cheaper than most german salt.

Do you have a stand for your 2 ft tank ? Want to buy from you.
