I forgot to say that I bought six Blue Chromis last Friday. All are looking ok.
Yesterday, while on a recce to a fish shop, as you do. I bought back a pack of live Brine Shrimp. I strained them through a tea strainer, and popped them straight into the DT.........and the critters went wild ! This was a success
I will now buy more live food, as I think this must be the most beneficial food available for the fish.It just has to be better than flake or frozen.
In the past I have grown/bred live Copepods. At the time I only had a 60 liter Nano, so it was just a bit of a 'let's see if I can do it" exercise.
If I remember, all I had was a plastic tuppaware box, an airline with an air pump (which I still have). Just buy a pack of Copepods, pop them in, feed a couple of drops of Photoplankton, and off they go breeding like...well, breeding like Copepods ! They require no special heating as room temperature works. I remember I had the tuppaware box on a windowsill for lighting, and it was very easy to do. I think I'll start this again.
I also saw a beautiful Green Wrasse in the shop. Now, green fish are pretty rare. There are just not that many. There are loads of Yellow, Blue, Red fish etc, but not many Green. He was cheap at about 30 euros.........I think I have to bring him home later this week.
