sorry for the late post

Post by NM354 »

I ment to post this earlier this week but never got around to it but for those who are interested tonight (friday) from 8-10 is friday night frenzy again up at B&B. We got a shipment of corals and fish in on wednesday and tuesday we got another shipment of i think just fish on tuesday. i think there were a bunch of people that got some good deals last time so i thought i would let you know. sorry again for the late notice but i guess its better than not knowing at all. (plus i am sure you have been shoping with your wife all day so now its your time to play or if your the wife then drag his ass somewhere else)

There are several of you guys now that have successfully kept coperband butterfly fish. I've tried twice and they've died both times because they've never taken to the homemade food mix of shrimp, oysters, fish, nori, and mysis shrimp. What are you guys feeding them to keep them so well?

I have had mine since the last friday night frenzy and have been feeding the same thing that you have been feeding. This is my first one that I have tried to keep and have had no real problems with him. When I do feed the fish it seems that he does not eat it, but he must be eating it a little to have lived this long.

I have had small feather dusters in my tank but they come up missing and I do have a large one, but he does not touch it.

Me and Miguel took advantage of the Friday Frenzy and both purchased overflow boxes for the refugiums we were setting up. I also bought a fist-sized rock covered in star polyps that flouresce under actinics. Also picked up some mushrooms, live sand for the refugium, etc... They actually had some pretty nice pieces the other night.
