She dislike the helfrichi. Wants me to give it away!!!! She currently prefers the purple firefish.

Well all this could change the next day. she inherited my fickle mindedness...

Give me the helfrichi then... dun bcos of one fish spoil the relationship between father and daughter... stuart.gif

Yes they do. you do see them splashing the sand even when they are not going to hide. nothing as serious as a jawfish or pistol shrimp though.

not sure about nudis. I do see them pecking on the rocks a lot.... could be eating pods.

Go get one lah Ray... really very nice!

Thinking of leh.. i love them too.. need a wrasse to protect my zoas.. lol..

I told her I get her a fish tank ok? she said yeah. She stretch out her hand :" I want this big" ....... shocked.gif

I said no... just a small 1 ft tank. I showed her the length.... then she said:" huh.... why so small. why your tank so big? I want the same....." shocked.gifshocked.gif

how long can her hands stretch out to be.. you are a super niaw ah pek lehz...

A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...

Thanks Ketch! Yeah the wrasses are very nice and a good size for my tank.

Strange my wife never ask me how much my tank setup cost.

Think she close one eye... :) or maybe close 2 eyes....

Even now when I go and buy fishes back, she also nvr ask the cost.....

I think she feels that it is better I spend on this than other other stuff.

I like this arrangement actually :)

no lah, it iwll be my girl's tank. she will decide what she wants inside that tank :)

I saw the JBJ 6g but dun like it leh..... will trap a lot of heat.

I will go for a plastic tank, dymax clip on LED and the eheim liberty HOB filter.

now trying to find a chance to convey that to my wife.

Yesterday my wife asked my girl what she wanted for her birthday, my girl said "dun noe!!!!"

This morning I asked my girl what she wanted for her birthday and she said "fish tank!" ........ go figure!!

update on my leopardies...

Went back at 6+ pm. both up and hunting around for pods.

the good news is that both are feeding on mysis.....

they are not keen on pellets.

looks like i have to stock up mysis liao.

what should i soak the mysis in to make it more nutritional for them?

update in Livestock:

Helfrichi (since mid Mid Mar)

My firefish has suddenly turned very timid.

I seldom see it in the open now ever since the introduction of the FA.

Zoom out and back in a flash.

I have been flooding the tank just to ensure that the food floats near his vicinity.

Flame Angel (since mid April)

Not feeding pellets. only takes in frozen.

Looking healthy and gradually putting on weight :)

2x Splendid Leopard Wrasse (Since end Apr)

So far so good. Wakes up at 10 am and goes to bed at 12 midnight

only feeding on mysis.

two of them always hang out together. real cute.

The tailspot blenny & the yellow gang (Yellow Tang, Yellow Wrasse, Yellow Clown Goby) are still doing good.

Will probably add more fishes 2 weeks later and likely to get Henry's reef gourmet as their main diet.

Hey Peter, I realised my zoas polyps are much larger than Cedric's.

Example the sunflower zoas.

mine is like 3 - 4 times larger than his. could this be due to the multiple additives that I have been pouring into the tank?
