Potter's Angel

Here's mine still in QT. Hasn't been eating yet, but hopefully that will change soon. Seems like he pecks around looking for food, but doesn't like anything I've given yet.

$80 and $45??? wow, you guys probably don't want to know how much I paid for mine then... :

 

cool fish

 

great shot of your potters. hows the fish by the way. i hope he came around to eating for you. it did take time for me as well.

actually, i do want to know how much this fish goes for in Hong Kong...

 

Gorgeous fish!!! Is he eating yet?

 

i love those fish

 

It was a choice between a potters and a flame for me. I went with the flame but he got swim bladder and didn't make it:-/

 

My Potters Angel cost me $150HKD, which is approximately $20USD (and I thought that was already pretty expensive!!!) Most fish here cost only $3-10USD, so I really thought I was splurging at $20. ;D

I put my potters into the display tank, since there wasnt any live rock for him to graze on in the QT. I still havent seen him eat anything I've offered, but he's constantly picking on all my rocks and sand bed. Still looks fat and plump, and more calm than in the QT. No more frantic pacing back and forth.

This is what I've been offering so far with no luck yet:
- super soft spirulina pellets
- ocean nutrition prime reef flakes
- new era marine pellets (this one is a UK brand, supposedly high end)
- ocean nutrition seaweed select nori sheets
- hikari mysis
- hikari spirulina loaded brine

Everything is soaked in garlic, sometimes with Kent Zoe as well. Hopefully the other fish will teach the potters that what i'm feeding is actually food! But for the meantime, he looks like he's getting the nutrition he needs from the live rock.... i would just feel better if i actually saw him eat what i'm feeding.

 

Fingers crossed he starts eating soon!!

 

I got a Potters today, and my Powder Brown is trying to kill him. @#$%, I thought my fish collection was complete. I'm gonna kill the lights and cross my fingers. Potter trumps Powder Brown, so PB might spend a few days in the sump jail.

 

get some of that nori and tie it to a piece of live rock. and try to pay attention to where he seems to spend some more time and place the rock there. hopefully while he is grazing around he might stumble upon it.

if it works then while he is feeding on it put some other meaty foods in the area maybe he'll take a bite and like it
