Have bought them in the past and found the product to be much dirtier than the other brand...are they doing a better job of packaging?

Yeah I've seen the thread on MR.COM.

I buy 40oz PE mysis packs for $40 from my LFS. Not great, but much more liveable than 16oz/$27.

@Ted,

You do dry food? pellets, nori, etc?

yes on dry- form 2 and prime reef...pellet is NLS for large fish... Nori is Julian's Red, Purple and Green...also feed fresh clams, silversides, brine, Hikari mage and angel mix.... sometimes krill

humaguy · 08/21/2012, 03:17 PM

So I got an email from Kevin last night...
about this...

10 inches..let's see how qt goes....

humaguy · 08/21/2012, 03:19 PM

very stoked and hope, at this point he will not be bothered...at that size he is about 2 inches bigger than my Cinereus and Sohal...I trust the Cinereus...the Sohal, not so much...lol...

clowntriggerfis · 08/21/2012, 07:11 PM

Nice hopefuly all goes well with this guy!

happyjack · 08/22/2012, 10:39 AM

I'd pull that trigger for sure.Seeing them in photos is nothing compared to seeing them in person .Simply awesome fish

humaguy · 08/22/2012, 12:41 PM

hear that..just worried about upsetting the balance of the tank...do not need him to be bullied by my Sohal...Cinereus is very mellow and I am not worried about any other fish...just the Sohal, who only bothers my Cortez but most of the fish in the tank grew-up together...

That is a beautiful fish. You have my dream tank. If I had a Sohal and it was bothering that, the Sohal would be dinner.

humaguy · 08/22/2012, 04:09 PM

thanks!
the Sohal better behave himself or he will be dinner...not mine, but the trigs...

jjk_reef00 · 08/22/2012, 06:57 PM

Awesome trigger. I see your point about the balance of the tank. And its not like you can just put a 10" fish in an aclimation box. You could try to put a qt tank next to your DT so the acrlyic touches and that way the other fish will see your new trigger for a while before he joins the group.

I wonder if your sohal is only going after the cortez because he is the least likely to fight back? I have a goldenheart trigger that nips at any fish that gets in his way durring feeding time. He especially liked to do it to the tangs I use to keep with him. The tangs quickly learned to stay clear.

Do you have any plans for agressive wrasses?
My favorites are klunzinger wrasse and newtons wrasses. Both show up on DD every once in a while and are fast and large enough where I don't think your trigs would eat them. The wrasses are cool because they will grab a large piece of food and then smash it into the rocks to break off a more manageable piece to eat.

humaguy · 08/22/2012, 09:36 PM

Hey Ed,
Both my qt are in another room...the trig is now in a 4 x 4 x 30inch tank solo at la and is going thru their qt process...he will prob go into my 125 qt...
I think the sohal chases the Cortez due to the size of the Cortez..she is quite large and much bigger than my Queens...and is perhaps closest in size to the Sohal...
no wrasses...the Outrigger is the last fish...
considering the fish in my tank, it is pretty mellow...but as I mentioned before, I purposely overfeed them...
Hope your fish are doing well..

geaux xman · 08/22/2012, 10:35 PM

Didnt you get the cortez as a real small juvie?

man you make me want to go get a big monster size tank so i can stock
whatever fish i want.

Yeah, I got the Cortez at a tiny 1.00-1.25 inches...and she was a great cleaner from day 1...she actually taught my Brazilian Queen how to clean fish, I watched it happen...
I am overly protective of the Cortez....the Sohal goes if things ever get bad...

humaguy · 08/23/2012, 01:13 PM

Great news!!

I spoke with Kevin about getting the 40 oz size PE Mysis packs for sale at LA...
