130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions? - Page 182

from earlier today..
i tossed in some spir brine and chefzilla chowdown midway thru...it is amazing how hard the butterflies hit the food and they can eat some surprisingly large pieces...

can see growth on them all but the conspics small size is easy to see when around the others...she is still pretty small...this Navarchus is much bolder than the last one but that is understandable, lol...
the wrought iron has grown nicely and is quite the brave fish, there is a nice close-up towards the end.
the scribbleds, both, are very fast growers, these are the cb from wen.
the hybrid is fast and skittish..
the gp are getting big though I am not sure that is so obvious in this..

Way too good to be true.
You got me...

caribfan · 04/04/2015, 07:46 PM

My dusky butterfly typically pulls the chunk of food right out of my hand, butterflies can be really greedy.

Do you plan to keep the semis as a pair? Were they collected that way?

I'd love to add one or two more, but I had always heard they wouldn't tolerate each other.

Very cool video of your quarantine tanks, thanks for posting that! Are you running multiple filters on each tank?

yeah, will keep them together as they are always with each other, there has never been even the slightest bit of aggression between them...they were not collected as a pair...

That video is amazing Ted. Hard to really see the size of some of those little girls without them swimming next to the PVC. What's your plans for the three GPs when they are bigger? Will they go into the 750g, or stay in their sanctuary they currently reside in? Happy Easter to you Ted!

myerst2 · 04/10/2015, 03:46 PM

Hey Ted. How about back to the trigger love?

Dmorty217 · 04/10/2015, 05:07 PM

I think that ship has sailed...

unfeazi · 04/22/2015, 09:22 AM

any updates?

Dmorty217 · 05/02/2015, 03:48 PM

Where did Ted go?

Since it is radio silence I will guess that he is taking intensive and advanced scuba diving lessons in order to collect his own Peps.

unfeazi · 05/12/2015, 09:34 AM

ORRR he already has them and we know how busy he is when hes taking care of little ones!

Ted won't risk his life to go collect Peps, he leave that to people who have been doing it for years and are much more qualified to do.

It was tongue in cheek. Just a failed attempt at humor.

I know you were! Hopefully Ted will surface soon, it's been over a month or so since we have heard from him

RouDaiLLe · 05/14/2015, 11:42 AM

wierd that there is no further update!!! Hope he is ok and his fish as well!

humaguy · 05/17/2015, 10:17 AM

hey all,
sorry for the delay but not much going on so nothing really to update.
will give a bigger update soon but mostly status quo...
cool golden king going around but for a really dumb price...
the tank needs some attention but here are a few GP pics...

they are doing great, getting very big, and I hope to see orange at some point over the next year or so..

humaguy · 05/17/2015, 10:56 AM

sorry, forgot this..

here is the golden passer...a rare color morph...

lol, going for 20-25k. should be 5..

between 7-9 inches...

Dmorty217 · 05/17/2015, 11:51 AM

Glad to see you back Ted! The girls look great per usual. That is a crazy price for the gold passer!!

thanks..
yeah even though a very, very rare color morph, that is an insane price...
and it is a big fish...

myerst2 · 05/17/2015, 12:35 PM

And could morph back in 6 months to the normal yet amazingly beautiful, but inexpensive fish.

SteelMastiff · 05/17/2015, 01:15 PM

That Passer is awesome, too bad for the price, and hardly worth the risk considering they can develop a pretty nasty attitude towards their tank mates.

unfeazi · 05/17/2015, 08:51 PM

The passer looks nice, but id take a clarion over that any day!
