5th Day in the Tank

Its been 5 days since I brought my new fishie friends home. Dottyback's a confirmed goner, but everyone else seems to have settled in nicely :)

They're inquisitive, active , and each of them have quirky traits..

Powder Brown Sturgeon likes to swim through the space between the live rocks in a fixed route and pattern over n over n over again.

Blue tang likes to hang out with Maroon Clown. When Maroon clown comes out for a swim, he would come out too, when maroon clown hides behind the rocks, he would go into hiding too

Maroon clown likes to swim around the sides of the tank in an up and down motion..round n round n round. he also likes to slide along side the glass to " play " with his reflection


Lionfish -(a.k.a dottyback eater) elegantly "Crawls" along the top of the live rocks...in slow, gliding motion..very mesmerising very eeriely beautiful



Occasionally , he would propell himself off the live rocks and glide through the water in slow -motion..in stark contrast to everybody else.




The happy bunch excitedly waiting to be fed


Threespot hogfish is still in hiding...sigh


It's Feeding Time!

Heheh i recieved this feeding station as a gift today *feel loved* ( ofcourse after much nagging and numerous lectures - DO NOT OVERFEED THE FISH, BLA BLA BLA) yes yes yes i hear you.
Anyway, TODAY is THE day i start to feed my new fishie friends with BRINE SHRIMP!
First we assemble the sponsored feeding station *giggles*




Just poke the suction cup into the sides - use brute guppy force! wahhahaha!



attach to side of tank , floating above the water


Buy good quality Brine Shrimp - cheap cheap good good -HIKARI BRAND ...you know wat it realy reminded me of? BELACHAN! hahahahahahaha but a stinkier version



I was advised to only feed half a brineshrimp / belachan cube, but when i first dropped one half into the fish feeding station, it got sucked into the filter :P grrrr!!!! So i dropped in the 2nd half again this time the block stayed afloat and started to disintegrate in the water...

In no time everybody was eating - well everybodie except lionfish who just glided by nonchalantly..methinks he is still full from dottyback...*evil*

SUCCESSS!!!!!
