oh and I can't seem to get my clown tang to eat....anything...does anyone have any advice? He is getting REALLY skinny. I don't think he is going to last much longer :(
 
mine LOVE mysis shrimp, and ate them the second i put them in. Also, they love formula one marine pellets...however, thats just mine. Im sure many others have other opinions.

new life spectrum pellets 1mm size.

Sweet tank, and nice work with the zip tie daisy chain!

lol thanks, I am trying to find some sort of acrylic rod or something that I can put some nori clips on so I don't have to put my hands in the tank so offen. If anyone has suggestions. :)
 
jamielind Awesome idea I will have to try that. 20vturbo nice tanks what are the dimensions it looks very simular size to mine just much taller. So have you got your stocklist finalised yet?
 
60”W x 42”H x 36”D

no, I am not sure what else I will add, right now I went with a not so aggressive....aggressiveish tank :)

1 blue throat trigger - male
1 Niger trigger
1 pink tail trigger (biggest wuss EVER)
1 bi-color parrotfish
1 juv. emperor angel
1 raccoon butterfly
2 auriga butterflies
1 lawnmower blenny
1 arc eyed hawkfish
1 bi-color angel
1 clown trigger (needs to learn to eat or he wont be on there much longer)

I know I want:
female blue throat
Hawaiian black trigger
Achilles Tang

I am open to any suggestions though! :)
 
Here is my black trigger, a good choice I enjoy watching mine act like an active dog

Here is the clown tang, I have tried every food and it actually looked like he was going to eat some algae but when i inspected closer it appears that he has lockjaw?? He can't close his mouth...any help would be great

looks like maybe lymphocitis (spelling?)........ bumpy belly looks strange..... what are you feeding him?

I think at this stage all you can do is keep stressors to a minimum, make sure there is no fin nipping / bullying going on, keep water quality up and feed plenty of good quality foods, and generally just let them settle for a month or so.......

As far as the clown tang...... if he has a damaged mouth, I am sad to say it will probably be his demise.......

If you don't mind me saying, a some of your fish generally look a bit "rough around the edges" if you know what I mean....... they look a bit tired and battered from shipping / over crowding holding tanks etc. To reiterate, I think they all need to just "settle" with the minimum of intrusion and interference..... Just my thoughts though. As far as the clown tang - maybe someone else can offer some advice here, but to the best of my knowledge there is nothing you can really do, just hope for the best.

Best of Luck,

Matt
 
I feed them mysis, bloodworms, chopped up homemade raw squid, shrimp, octopus, nori, flake food, and silversides. But he mainly just eats the nori off the clip.

Yeah, I was afraid there was nothing I could do :(
