Puffer Chick's 46 Gallon Bowfront Reef

yea flash needs a giant like wrasscal for protection lol even though wrasscal didnt care that he was by him lol he doesnt have a mean bone in his body

 

i fed Wrascale for the second time, he's not the best eater but he seems ok, he nipped at one of my hermit crabs and pushed him on his back and poked at the hermit himself so i dont know if he was just stealing food from the hoermit, i hope he will accept the food better as time goes on

 

oh yea im going to the lfs this weekend and i hope to bring home some coral and a friend for my puffer

and i guess Wrascal goes to bed early Actinics arent even off yet and he's no where to be found lol

 

Are you enjoying your Melanurus? Wait til it gets full grown..the colors get 10x better!

 

lol yea i had a name holding contest and UncleJed won his colors are a bit dull but im hoping he will brighten up once he gets more comfortable in the tank, and he's eaten a little bit, i fed him early this afternoon he ate some i fed him now just 10 minutes ago he ate some and attacked a crab but didnt kill it i think he was stealing food from the crab, so hopefully he will eat better once he adjusts more but he has a good tempermant he just minds his own business and just swims throughout the tank and picks at the rocks

 

yea i like him he brings a lot of movement too the tank, lol yea i cant wait until his colors get better, i think he's 4 inches so he doesnt have much more to go until fullgrown and im thinking about feeding 3x a day instead of once to try to get his colors to brighten up i dont know if that will work or not but i figure with how active he is he probably needs the more feedings anyways

 

Try Cyclopeeze. I've been told, and read, that it enhances the coloring of the fish. I bought some and started feeding it today!

 

didnt know that i will try to find it at the lfs this weekend

woohoo Wrasscal is an early riser everybody came out as soon as i opened my blinds this mornig im giong to feed them right now

 

i just got home form work and Wrasscals colors are a bit brighter, i guess he's gettting more used to the tank, i will clean the glass, do a top off clean the skimmer than take some pics

 

as promised here are some pics of Wrasscal, his colors have brightend up so much more, he is also extremely hard to get a good pic of, he just wont hold still

and i just thought this was the cutest thing, the mama nerite carrying around the baby nerite that was before i cleaned the glass and right after i turned the skimmer on
