Green Chromis

What should I be feeding them? They are still fairly little. Thanks!

 

I feed mine pellets

 

i feed the corals using the pappone method and the fish love it

 

Mine hide and haven't figured out that I put pellets on the top of the water for my clownfish

 

I'm a newbie. What is the "pappone method"?

 

for when you have a rull reef tank , with a lot of SPS

cut and pasted from Blu coral web site

The term “pappone” stands for a blending of fresh seafood mixed with a carbon source (fructose or simple sugar).
The recipe is this:
5 mussels, 5 shrimps, 5 oysters, 5 clams , (all of these must be fresh!!) 1 fructose or saccarose teaspoon, 250 ml of R.O. Water.
Blend energetically until it takes a creamy consistence. At this point, you can add the GH and achieve the full BC method, or leave it without hormone and have a ‘light’ BC method. You can use the 4 units (1,33 mg) vial. Then, blend again and put the pappone in a freezer container as ice cubes, then freeze it. Pay attention on the cold chain. It’s better use very cold RO water so that the temperature doesn’t become too warm when blending.

The GH, what is it?

The GH or somatotrope hormone, is a protein of small dimensions, with a structure considerably different varying the species. There is an high biological specificity, in the sense that the GH of one species is generally completely inactive in others; in that human, the only that is effective is the GH of the monkey. Viceversa, the human one acts only on the monkeys and on no others.

The sequence of the 191 amino acids are on linear chain, and fundamentally has two important actions in the human organism: the increase of the body mass and the regulation of the cellular metabolism, specially the proteic one.

After all, therefore, GH does not act on other mammals and obviously it does not act on invertebrates. This can simply be demonstrated by the need of specific receptors on the cellular membrane of the cell on wich the hormone acts. Obviously, the corals do not have receivers of this type.


But you could try frozen mysis or other frozen foods , the Chromis will eventually recognise the pellets as food IMO

Steve, you know your stuff. Thanks buddy

 

tanks for the karma steve, back to ya

 

I know how to find stuff is a more accurate assesment this time round

Thank you
