Hi Alex,

Beautiful tank you have there! I noticed you have a clown tang in there. I love the looks of those fish but have heard horror stories about them. Have you had any issues with them so far with aggression?

Darth_Tater · 05/20/2018, 06:04 PM

That CBB looks good in there, along with everything else!

vikinglord13 · 05/20/2018, 09:36 PM

Alex, are those dispar anthias?

Thanks!
I had a Clown in my previous setup and I knew about his temper.
Both mine are evil....
The actual one is the only tang in the tank........and because he got no one to fight, 2 weeks ago he thought it was a good ideia start to chase and harass my school of Chromis.
Result: all of them stayed hidden in the branches of acros and 3 of them ended dead.
It's a beautiful fish...one of the most beautiful tangs, I think....but it's a mean fish.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss.....

This time I got lucky with the CBB.....
It's a healthy and very very active fish.....
And my aiptasias are going down....

No....
They're squamipinis.
One of my females died some months ago....and I buy a male to replace it.
Now I have a couple.

One of my Red bar died .....and the other one passed the day hidden in rocks yesterday.
I think it'll be dead by tomorrow.
Not a good option in my experience untill now.
Maybe I'll add another 2 female squamipinis.....

Alex,

everything looks vibrant and fantastic. By the way, i drew inspiration from your GSP and added it to my sand bed in my new tank build. It adds quite a bit of color and I'm happy with the decision to add it in. just need to keep it in check

Also I see you kept your acans in the tank with the CBB. Any issues or all good?

nsfishguy · 05/21/2018, 11:31 AM

Yeah, that is what I thought! Thanks for the info.

I like the GSP too...it gives the tank some color and movement.
About the CBB, untill now it's eating aiptasias and shrimp, ONLY.......lol
It's hard to tell if it'll be like this permanently.
If it shows interest in the acans, I'll remove them to the frag tank.

What shrimp has it eaten?

Alex Costa · 05/21/2018, 06:14 PM

Here we called it gray shrimp.
It's used for food.
I remove the head and the shell and chopped it in a multiprocessor.

Alex Costa · 05/23/2018, 07:22 AM

This is it:

choss · 05/24/2018, 09:27 AM

I love it. This must be great for the fish in the tank. Fresh food probably can't be beat.

I've always have better results with this kind of shrimp, compared with industrialized fresh food.
Recently I give the Goldpods from Nyos a shot and the fishes didn't take it.....Neither anthias and CBB, nor yellow coris and Smithii goby (my 2 most carnivorous fishes)
Plus, the shrimp is a cheaper option.

Alex Costa · 05/25/2018, 08:35 AM

A fish that I've tried a few times before.
Very interesting color and behaviour

Goodbye aiptasias......

That milli's coloration is fascinating. parts of it are completely blue while others are completely green and others are half and half. How did that happen?
