FuEl Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 They don't work well in reef tanks. People have tried. Quote Always something more important than fish. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/03/08/sps-pico-reef/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ml708 Posted April 19, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2015 They don't work well in reef tanks. People have tried. Yeah I know. When I first got my 4 abalones, one died within a week. The rest have been doing well in my tank for some months now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member nemokit Posted April 25, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 25, 2015 I wanted to pick some a few oysters from Sheng Siong last time but had dropped the idea. Not to cultivate pearl or for human consumption, but more for "LIVE" filtration in my sump tank. I guess they prefers algae diet than food waste..

Good idea to also check if they are temperate oysters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member expert Posted September 1, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted September 1, 2015 what do you feed the Yeah I know. When I first got my 4 abalones, one died within a week. The rest have been doing well in my tank for some months now though what do you feed them with? i saw quite huge variety of clams at punggol sheng siong which tempted me especially oysters but drop it as i have no idea what to feed them.

SRC Member nemokit Posted September 19, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted September 19, 2015 Oysters and clams are filter filters. Their diet are mostly phytoplankton and microalgae (isochrysis). Commercial food like Phyto-Feast from Reef Nutrition, and others does contain the food required. Normal marine tank may not be able to keep them well fed..
