Blueberry Gorgonian

[luisprado]

How hard is it to keep blueberry gorgonian? I can get a hold of some but I've never kept gorgonian. I hear that most are non-photosynthetic. I also read that they require pretty regular feedings to maintain them. Can anyone else give me some advice?

Thanks.

They are very difficult to keep. I would'nt get one.

If you do, you may want to try Reef Roids as this was made to feed gorgonians.

 

[luisprado]

I have been looking for a reason to buy reef roids. I think I will purchase and give it a try.

Hey Bigsack!

That's cool you can keep those blueberries. They've been very difficult always for me to keep. Lasts for a while then dies off.

ezcompany - I think they feed on phyto, right? Maybe a home feed brew would work well too!

luisprado - I think they are at a difficult level to keep in my opinion. Good luck though! Let us know how it works out if you get it.

i'm thinking of feeding it reefroids and dts phyto.

 

[luisprado]

I bought the blueberry and began feeding DT's Phyto and am in the process of purchaseing reef roids to feed as well.

 

[ezcompany]

did u see a decline in health when only feeding DTs?

 

[luisprado]

I've been feeding for 3 days now and haven't seen a decline yet.

Hey, let me know how the reefroid feedings go because I've just been feeding DTs and liquid life w/cyclops. If RR is better, then i may switch over.

 

[ezcompany]

Poty! didn't know u were on RC too ^^

 

[PotysGSXR]

YOoouuu KNOoooo!

I've had luck with Phycopure as well for gorgonians. The blueberrys are pretty tough, but I've know some to keep them for at least a limited time with good feeding. GL

 

[ezcompany]

Phycopure? is that some other sort of phyto? and how long is "limited" time?

 

[Me No Nemo]

Yes, it is Phyto. I have a friend who had one for several months but then her puffer ate it. Others who have tried have lost theirs within several weeks. They definitely are challenging.

 

[PotysGSXR]

I feed phyto and liquidlife with cyclopeeze everyday to everyother day and i've had mine for for about 2 months now and they look fine. hopefully they'll stay that way.

Please keep us informed...I'd love to feed a diet to them that would keep them alive as they are gorgeous. Thanks, Marcye
