Going to try tubifex over the weekend, as a few of the larger frys started nibling on a half dead feeder fish
Mommy fish bit the feeder and spit it into two, the head part was still alive, when I woke up the next day everything was gone....Got only one tank, 50 x 22 x 22 (105G tank)
Male is 7 inches, female around 5.5 - 6
Temp : hmm i forgot, rarely look into the temp, I live in a tropical country, no need for heaters
The pump is rated at about 750 gph
10 percent water change every other day
Mechanical Filter is about 3 square feet of filter floss
My trickle filter consist of the following
6 x 6 x 12 inch of box of ceramic rings
6 x 6 x 6 inches of crushed corals.
6 x 10 x 18 inches of bioballs
12 stainless steel scrubbies
Brine shrimp eggs can be purchased from ebay
The day dovii are free swimming they can handle crushed flake. No need to go to the trouble, and you get a better nutritional profile too.
