Obito Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If I remember correctly, common cleaner wrasse is about $3 at pasir ris. Or you could look around for those already weaned on foods. 1 Quote Sharkssssss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member iskay Posted October 13, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted October 13, 2014 livestock husbandry is an acquired skill honed through experience and learning. Start with easier species then gradually move to more difficult ones as you acquire better husbandry skills. Save livestock, save money. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash.

CookieCrunch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm having a cleaner wrasse which paired with a yellow tang as well ! Doing great . It eats every food that I put in including pellets, flakes, frozen brine/mysis and even cleans my hand when I put my hand in . It's like fish spa . Haha !
