Btw, what temp do you keep your tank at for your interruptus and bandits?

Tangaroa · 01/27/2014, 06:58 AM

That's a nice example of a tigerpyge.

There are some cheap ones on the market in the UK at the moment but not all tigerpyges are created equally.

With this fish it's all about the definition of the stripes, the colour of the body, the darkness of the tail and the blue rim on the fins.

Thx for the reply!
So you are saying that the day-night lighting cycle affects their color? Thats very interesting!
is 73 kept throughout the year or just for winter?

HPark · 01/28/2014, 09:49 PM

Also -- sorry if this info was earlier in the thread - do you use natural lights? Or do you change on/off times throughout the year to get these "short winter days"?

As always -- love looking at pictures of your fish!
