, funny...

They would all get treated...If a new fish is added to a qt with exisiting fish the qt "clock" gets reset.

I just got word that a wholesaler from Vanuatu has them listed and after a request is put in, they take two weeks to collect them... Starting to dig into it a bit more.

randomfishguy85 · 03/04/2014, 05:20 AM

I don't know if anyone asked this yet, but when you have people look at your tank who have no knowledge of fish, which fish gets the most attention. Is it the clarion? Most people could have a tank full of ignitus anthias and all people will notice is the little percula swimming being hosted by a powerhead. Do people notice the pricier fish before the less expensive ones?

lol, that always depends on who is looking at the tank...some go to the interrupta, some to the clarions, some the cortez, others the bandits...

I think the whole setup must be amazing in person! From the custom built tank to the combination of fish and all the beautiful species, I don't know how anyone could pick just one! This has to be my favorite thread! I think it's really nice of you to put the time in to share with us. Thanks, Ted!

humaguy,

I keep hearing and reading about how Angels only go together with other angels if they are introduced at the same time. How do you get your angels to get along with each other, since they are all being introduced at different times?

Also is a joc angel a mix between a bicolor and lemon peel angel?

DjScRiBbLe · 03/04/2014, 07:54 PM

Angels don't only get along when all introduced at once? You want to make sure you have your pairs together prior to hitting to DT but as long as your adding angels or any fish in the proper manor they should get along if added over time.

They spend time in the 2 qt together..there is a lot of pvc pieces for them to hide in..the dt has plenty of lr set-up in a way to provide areas of refuge for all sizes of fish, and I keep them very well fed...lights off for a few days when adding fish to dt and I keep the lights dialed way back if I am not in front of the tanks...ime/imo bright lights often lead to increased aggression...

The joc is not a hybrid...Centropyge joculator from Cocos Keeling...

I have not always added pairs or a 3rd at the same time...

I don't doubt that nor would I think with the tank space you have it would always be required especially when pairing properly sized fish together. Say I wanted 2 pairs of centropyge in a 120 you best believe I'm pairing them in qt and then introducing so I don't have issues.

Allmost · 03/05/2014, 10:08 AM

congrats, she looks amazing ! good size too !

Ted, when you have time, can you give us a run down of your QT set ups, filtration, and so on ? perhaps a pic of the sump of the main tank too

I am sure it would help alot of us designing QT and ...

What centropyge are you talking about?

Generally speaking....
I would put them in isolation boxes right next to each other so they can see each other but can't touch...after a few days (or more depending on any perceived aggression) release the smaller/more docile one...after a few more days release the other...keep the lights down or totally off the first few days they are together and feed them several times a day.
Go from there..if there is aggression one will need to be egg crated from the other..
Good luck...

Ok, so say I want to introduce a Flame and Lemon Peel at the same time. You say put them in QT at the same time with minimal light and lots of PVC and I should be good?

thank you. I will check again

do you run skimmers on both as well ?

I guess since the conspic came from DD it was already eating ? I hear thats the main problem with them . and one of the small reasons Im afraid to try it

I hope so...flames can be pitas...I would put the lemon in first while the flame is in an isolation box...after a week of so release the flame...
