Amazing tank Polina, it is nice to see some other butterfly keepers with large tanks. You have a very large collection of fish that are known for being difficult to keep, do you have any tips for feeding them? Do you quarantine and medicate them?
And that Eunice worm is insane! I've never seen anything quite like that before...

I give the new butterflies feed forcibly (which usually do not take food). From the syringe with a straw. Feed crushed in a mortar (mussels, artemia, oyster, squid ). Not sure I can explain it is clear. Here is a photo: http://reefcentral.ru/forum/topic/25...i-lad/?p=54239 After they know the taste and smell of food. And perceived proposed seafood as fodder. Usually it is enough to give them food forcibly two - three times. All new fish are fresh bath for 10 minutes. With Sera COSTAPUR 7 ml per 10 l of fresh water. Then baths with antibiotics. And quarantine for about a week. And quarantine tank sterilized boiling water every three days. To kill fallen from fish cysts Cryptocaryon (tomont (encysted reproductive stade)).

And when the fish begins to eat, then they get it fixed on something. So, for example:

Very nice tank and beautiful fish too! Congrats on your success! That is a very large Eunice worm! I'd probably freak out if I had one of those in my tank. There would be no getting it out unless I got real lucky.
Thanks for sharing! P.S. You english was pretty darn good!

You must be very busy syringe feeding. If I understand correctly you force feed them two - three times and then they begin eating the same food you force feed them. How long have you been able to successfully keep these difficult chaetodon species in you aquarium for? I ask because I tried a lavartus about a year ago and he lived for 3 months but never ate aggressively enough to fulfill his dietary nutritional needs. I like your idea of strapping fresh sea food to a feeding stick, I'm going to have to try that.

Periodically add feed (different) in water. But often do corals injections amino acids in the body. In recent times used the Fauna Marin Ultra-min D (plus a little sea water), also made injections into the body of corals. On the week bought a Christmas tree. Not in very good condition - sticking spicules, and it didn't open at all. But the reaction to a shot:

Would you please clarify, do you mean you push the food into the coral's mouth, or do you actually inject the food with a needle into the coral's body. Thx Dave.M

Wow! I have never heard of this method. Is this something you invented yourself or is it common with aquarists in Russia?

No, Dave, it is not common practice in Russia to give shots to soft corals. Polina is very creative and very talented fish keeper. |

She left as quickly as she came, lol ...
I'm not against force feeding if it helps the fish to identify food & eat. |
