Bandit angel and crosshatch trigger experiences

Bandit is officially eating, so less than 12 hrs from acclimation to eating... This was also on the box. So I know Rufus catches and obviously packs the fish too. Great experience with SaltyAquaria. I will be doing a lot of future business with Adrian!

Bandit is aggressively eating food this am I'm happy to report. Extremely pleased with Adrian and SaltyAquaria! I will order from him again without question
 
Thanks Rob I feel like I can sleep at night knowing the Bandit is eating and seems to have acclimated to the tank well. The crosshatch is still very shy and hides in a cave when I walk within 5ft of the tank... If I stay further away everything is fine. Not sure if the crosshatch is eating yet since he is being gun shy

What size Bandit did you get? Are you going to try to put some coral in with him and see if he has any interest?

Our Crosshatches started eating right away. Think they were hungry off the plane and started by eating the Potter's Angel's fins first :(

Just fed them brine, Mysis and rods while in QT. Also added Selcon, might have helped.

The Bandit was 4". Im not adding coral until the 625g is up and running but it makes little difference to me if the Bandit nips or eats some corals... They just won't be in the tank! I plan on adding way more fish than corals to the 625g so the fish win no question. I have food soaked in selcon and vitachem. Im going to try some not soaked in food when I get home tonight.

Nice I'd like to hear how the 4" does. Probably about the size we'll try.
 
Dmorty217, just curious, what other fish to you intend to add to the 625g? Do you have a set stock plan? More large angels? Butterflies? More triggers?

Jealous.
 
Pairs of everything I add, which will be more angels and butterflies for sure and a few tangs probably too. Achilles, blonde nasos and purples are on the top of my list... Would love a Polyzona (zebra) tang too but there is no way Im spending 1200$ on one. No real set stock list but lots of angels and some butterflies. I really like Eppie sharks, but other members on the stock list don't make great tank mates with sharks

Hope we can find you (and me) a Zebra sooner than later.

Have feelers all over the place.

Have you thought about an Achilles and Achilles Hybrid? Thinking of doing both here...

Yeah I have but since those or at least one of them will be the last additions I have time to plan that accordingly. The bandit is sampling NLS pellets so that's great news... Day two and eating and spitting pellets so a step in the right direction
 
Aggressively eating right out of the pipet today. Extremely pleased with the quality of livestock that was sent to me from salty.

Sorry about the sideways picture my iphone has a mind of it's own it seems when uploading pictures on here. Previous pictures I took the same way and weren't sideways

I was at reefwise Wednesday. Brian just had a 2" zebra and has another small one, along with two gems on the way....
