Cheers steveWow canisters and sponges...I figured you had some kinda elaborate multi-chambered, super exotic filtration under the tank...Your water looks excellent, as does you fishes health...

What do you feed him?

spwd
11-10-2008, 3:51 PM
Hi zennz, i try and make the filtration as simple as possible,and i think the set ups like you said are probably a bit noisy,i imagine?

As for food,he mainly eats mealworms fed on whatever i can,also he does like prawns and he loves crickets but they are more of a treat and he has a little bit of frozen krill but not alot,he will NOT eat pellets at all

Cheers steve

Also if you can see the bubbles in the front corner,he gets behind the airline to move it away from the glass,so he can play in it easier:screwy::naughty:

Wow!! Your tank is amazing. I bet you stare at that thing for hours. THe Deamons are absolutely stunning.

What are your water parameters like? Have you had any trouble with the deamons? I've wanted some but heard they are pretty sensitive.
