Hello Ted.

How much inch they are in this moment?

A expert in our country told me that angels need aggressions to change to male. The hormone that release by aggression controlled the grow of the male sexual organs.

What do you think? What's your experience?

Greetings Torben

I am not sure the biological mechanism that stimulates the change is fully understood...there are def social factors that led to it..not sure they need aggression to accomplish it...if the male in a harem or group dies one of the females will change to male in order to sustain the longevity of the group...

Very exciting stuff. Can't wait to see more...

I went back and watched her video from a few years ago to tide me over until then.

Hey humaguy, I've just lost a semilarvatus to flukes in QT I ran one dose of prazipro in the first week, and in the second week, and the tank was at a full dose of cupramine. Fish died of flukes at end of week four.

Did I make a mistake in my procedure, and what do you recommend (have you ever run into this?) I feel like a giant idiot, what's worse is semilarvatus is super rare in Australia.

Hey Ted, how are you doing? Haven't seen you on here much in the past few months. How are all the girls doing? Anything new since last time?

Hey Kids,

Hope you are all well...real busy, the smaller qt was moved to my buddies house in Sept. He is just about to add them to his just under 15,000 dt, they are currently in a 3500 qt pool...killer setup and I hope to be able to toss up pics of the build.
I have been really focused on the Gp and think I am going to empty my dt of most fish and move the Gp and Blondie into it. I have a few baby bandits coming from Karen and they would join the Gp, Blondie and a few others already in dt...
The Gp have gotten huge and have appeared to work out the sexing issue...there was period of time where it looked like all, but certainly 2, were becoming male. One is now clearly going male with lots of orange, the other 2 still have orange but I suspect they will remain female. Here are some pics from early today, they are as usual, pretty bad, lol...
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and Holiday Season!

Ted, The GP's are looking great -- They are nice and thick and healthy looking. You are doing a great job raising them.

I just had a Bellus change over to male in the last few weeks. I was amazed how quickly the process was. In 48 hours the fish went from being vibrant female colors and patterns to look like it was bleached and within 10 days bam it was a male. Not only did the colors and pattern change, but even the shape of the tail made a huge change.

In my outside frag tank I have a put a pair of juvenile imperators from Bali. Going to try raising them and growing them out in the sunlight to see how they turn out.

Now I am just waiting to find a replacement Goldflake. My full size adult vanished without a trace a few months ago. No clue where a huge fish could vanish to, but the mysteries of a reef tank. And of course since then I can find any Goldflakes. Hoping when i do find one, I can find two and try to pair them up as well.

Keep up the great work and have a great holiday next week.

Dave B
