Fry pix - about a week old. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] :D
The 'shrimp' are copepods. Beneficial/harmless - they feed on green algae. The hermits dissapear for long times - if alive they will re-appear....
Hard to tell from your photo. Does it look like this? If it does, and casts a 'net' and sucks it in, it's a Vermetid worm. Harmless and lots of fun...
Hehe...just finished moving my 9 tetras to a different tank for their own safety! One of them is missing half a tail (got too close to the fry!)...
I have been doing that, Covey! In fact, my little 10 gal SW gets tested about every 2 weeks now, and instead of the 10 different tests I used to run...
I am posting photos of the fry in a separate thread!
Sunlight?
Her fins full! [IMG] Good Parents [IMG]
[IMG] Another fry pix. There are at least 100! These are a few in one of the depressions in the gravel excavated by the parents.
Some photos: [IMG] Dad watching over the fry. He captures strays and keeps the tetras away. [IMG] Some of the fry out to play/eat? The hole...
Wendy, you have not added your new skimmer to your sig yet! Good to see ya again...the 250 still not leaking, and the pump has not set fire to the...
The "slug" is a stomatella snail. It has a shell, often hard to see because it's flat. It is a beneficial scavanger that will not eat coral. Keep...
The Tetra KH test is blue/yellow, but their GH is red/green or green/red (can't even tell that!). Is the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals one test or is it...
I run a skilter 250 in my tank, but it is highly modified. Out of the box they are noisy, make lots of bubbles in your tank, and don't work well....
Don't scrape! Whatever you scrape inside the tank will spread. Hard multi-colored growth on tank walls is coralline algae, beneficial. It will...
I appreciate the offer, Bruce. Based on the lack of response on three different websites (yours is the only one) I guess all GH test kits rely on...
Likely an asterina starfish, like in my post. You will have tiny featherduster worms and other small animals too, just watch them. The green bubble...
He's got a yellowtail damsel. With a territorial fish like that, the damsel should be the one and only in a 10... The rest can be inverts, etc....
Heck, Red, I was trying to encourage him to keep a low cost 10 gal reef like mine! :P A fish only tank is a good way to get started, as Redbeard...
Damsels do turn very dark at night. Mine becomes "invisible" inside his rock cave. It is normal behavior. A Red Sea hydrometer will run you about...
