yes please do things babies are amazing i talked to rod he said they are about 6 moths old very tiny 6month old lol

kslick · #**954** 11/27/2007, 04:43 PM

yes they are tiny!!! I have them in a 6 gallon tank right now. How long before I can put them in my main display? They are to tiny to put in any time soon. The current might tire them out.

feed them live baby brine shrimp and frozen cyclopeze for a couple months and they will fatten up quick.

post pics.....

flaco626nj, what price range are those? I am going to get a pair and wondered which ones you decided on. Are those the larger, more expensive ones or the smaller cheaper?

flaco626nj · #**957** 11/27/2007, 05:13 PM

the frozen seems to pollute the tank more and have more dust the frozen is really much better.

coll aquabuys a local online dealer sells it ill go get some tomorrow but ill use what i have for now

kslick · #**961** 11/27/2007, 05:49 PM

Do you think it would also be okay if I kept with a couple of false percs? I've had them for awhile and have breed them a couple of times, just to give the babies to fellow nearby reefers. Makes me feel like I'm doing my part.

flaco626nj · #**962** 11/27/2007, 05:52 PM

i wouldnt just because they aare so small and you want them to become paired up and that might prevent it

the false percs will killem.

Even if I already have a female, she is huge. I thought the rest would become males. They would only be in there until I transfered into the display tank. How are they doing?

kslick · #**965** 11/27/2007, 06:07 PM

ok good to know. Thanks
