My 240g FOWLR - Page 34

The random pair I found was the first time I ever.... EVER ....saw them in person

caribfan · 12/12/2014, 10:17 PM

Great...now there's competition.

SDguy · 12/12/2014, 10:18 PM

lol

caribfan · 12/12/2014, 10:18 PM

Crazy to find them as a pair. Are they from Australia?

SDguy · 12/12/2014, 10:20 PM

I think so. To be honest they were as difficult as a chelmon. Only ate seafood meats or live blackworms. Never even looked at pellets or formula type foods.

caribfan · 12/12/2014, 10:22 PM

That would be fine with me, I don't feed pellets or flake anyway.

The search continues.

SDguy · 12/12/2014, 10:23 PM

They also only ate certain meats specifically scallop... that's about it other than the worms. not easy.

caribfan · 12/12/2014, 10:28 PM

Sounds like it. I doubt I ever find them anyway . It's very unusual that my buddy gets fish from Australia.

SDguy · 12/12/2014, 10:34 PM

Plus mine were very fat when I got them... the thought of adapting skinnier versions isn't great

caribfan · 12/12/2014, 10:44 PM

Tell you what... How about you go find two more pairs and send me one of them.

Sound like a plan?

SDguy · 12/13/2014, 06:18 AM

4 for me, none for you

caribfan · 12/13/2014, 06:27 AM

Shoo!

caribfan · 12/13/2014, 06:27 AM

Ttt

SDguy · 12/13/2014, 06:31 AM

I would always share, or direct you to anything I find, you know that.

Well, except weibeli... I'd run over small children for a weibeli.

caribfan · 12/13/2014, 06:55 AM

You know i'm working on those. We found a distributor at least. It's very hit or miss on them though. I'd be sure to get two if we ever order from them.

I think I may move the CB scribbled into the DT today. All meds are complete, she's eating and growing well, and she's darn spunky! Nonetheless, I will use an acclimation box for a few days with her, mainly so the powder blue can get used to her. The PBT is unpredictable. Doesn't even notice the Heniochus, but almost killed the burgessi

Like the acclimation box - I should get one some day.

I think your scribby is going to be A ok. They've got big personality for such little fish. Without sounding too weird, (

)I almost think they know they're Angels & destined to be a dominant fish. Plus it can hide in the rocks if the pbt gets territorial. In my opinion of course!
Based on your group, she could probably slip in without anyone caring much, maybe?
Mine is starting to eat nori, is yours? The other scribs I've had destroyed it with joy.

SDguy · 12/16/2014, 08:49 PM

The scribbled is doing well in the acclamation box.... just a little interest from the PBT. Strangely zero interest from any of the other Chaetodontoplus angels in the tank.

caribfan · 12/16/2014, 08:52 PM

Where did you get your acclimation box from? Does it not stress the fish in the box out at all?

SDguy · 12/16/2014, 08:55 PM

A local friend made it for me. I think he even made Bradley one. Too bad he travels for work so much now that he no longer does acrylic work. No... surprisingly, the fish doesnt seem bothered. I have a pvc elbow in there with her.

caribfan · 12/16/2014, 09:08 PM

I may have to get something when I go to add my regal. I'm a little concerned about how the big one will treat my smaller one that's all ready in the DT.

SDguy · 12/16/2014, 09:09 PM

I think there are a few places that now sell acrylic acclimation boxes. Great investment imo/e.

The boxes do help. Is yours on the bottom of the tank or suspended from the top? How long do you plan on keeping your scribbled in there? My fish always swim frantically trying to get out so I get nervous with BFs in there.

It hangs on the overflow....
