Gentlemen,
The personal snipping and arguments need to be kept off of RC. Otherwise I will be forced to close the thread, as quite frankly I don't have the time to be babbysitting a thread or trying to clean it up.

Ted,
A general question, do you ever worry about a fish being to fat? Thanks.

if your fish are thick from your constant feeding and excellent care, I would not worry... I would worry if I saw a fish that was suddenly fat after a feeding, that could be a sign of bloat... |

Can you post the picture of the little one that "appears" to have one of the pelvic fins turning orange? I have been looking back through the pics of the little girls but it seems like depending on the angle of the camera that the baby blue shows up better in some picture than others. I would imagine this holds true with the pelvic fin too at this stage. Off topic question, are you going to MACNA 15?

How has their personalities developed over the last few months, specifically in regards to aggression towards other species?

You should look into making your own food with as much as you buy... Or had bought from others... It's quite simple and I would imagine you have 75% of what you need already. Let us know how the new stuff goes

Just glad you don't live in Austin Ted...
I don't think I'd want to leave your house! Makes our stocking look pathetic in our display haha Really only looking at a Bandit (after your words on them), Gem Tang, Zebra Tang, Ach. Hybrid as far as rarer fish go in addition to what we have.

a tiny bit of spirulina goes a long way. I learned that the hard way making my own food..... Dmorty you like Angel Elixir? I never found it helpful for my fish unfortunately. tried it on a couple stubborn regal angels to no avail.

I will bring you a pack or two of it to MACNA and you can give it a try and let me know what you think. Doesn't help you until September but I will have some for you if you would like it to try

Hey Ted, how are the interruptus? Don't mean to distract from the GPs, but it's been awhile since I've seen any pics in your thread of them....

I don't like Vitachem, do like Selcon...use mostly scallops, little necks, shrimp, nori but at this point, only make it a few times a year but you're right, I should probably start making it more often.. No, the food does not have to be shaved down anymore. |

Hey Ted.
Just curious about what exactly it is you don't like about Vitachem? How about Zoe and Zoecon? I find Kent's fish and Shark liver oils (HUFA's) to be similar to Selcon. But I lost a bit of faith in Kent... |
