Hey Folks--
I always get great tips here, so I thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone has had a similar situation and what you did to fix it/help it.
I've had 4 cyps in my tank for about 2 months or so. They are still juvies, and the males are just coloring up now for about 2 weeks or so. They're doing great--and man, are they fast. I feed them in a way that they can grab the sinking pellets before they hit the substrate, and then whatever hits the substrate is quickly eaten by my enantiopus and brevis.
I just got some 4.5" or 5" jumbo cyps last Wednesday that are at a mid-coloring stage, and they are a very skittish fish--but besides that, the cyps are so fast, the jumbos don't seem to be able to get much food. I actually see a jumbo swimming toward a sinking pellet and a cyp will swim past them and snatch it up before the jumbo can get to it.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks!
Stephen
