Juvenile Blueface

Ok time for a couple more updated pictures.

He's about 9 weeks now. Yes i still have him in a QT and is still being fed 3 times a day but a little heavier now. Morning time gets about 15 pellets, when i get home from work he gets a 1" x 1" sheet of nori and before i go to sleep another 15 pellets.



This picture is kinda blurry but i just wanted to show how yellow his top fin are now and this was taken without flash.

Are you an accountant? Haha! Just joshin ya.
That's really the right way to go about it. I see your tank is extremely clean, too. Why is he in QT so long? Are you waiting for him to put on some size?

I'll try & get an updated pic but if it's changed any I would be surprised.

I finally got a decent updated pic. I've had this fish since November 7th so it's been a little over 4 months now. I do notice a little bit of yellow starting to show more on it's top dorsal & it's pectoral fins are brighter yellow. But yours has changed more than mine in the little time you've had it. The tail on yours is starting to turn & the stripes are fading. Looks good!! Lets try & keep this thread updated w/ new pics so we can document ours changing together.

Yea the QT is super clean. I change his water every 3 days because i feed heavy.

LOL mine is only 1.5" maybe a tad bigger. This is the main reason i still have him in a QT. When i got him 9 weeks ago he was less then a inch. I do find that he's changing really really fast.

Please do record your blueface changes here so we can see each others process. I think your blueface has very vivid colors compared to mine though and i noticed yours haven't gotten that dot yet. What are you currently feeding your? Did yours always have the yellow fins? or did it change to that?

Mine had the yellow fins & eye band when I bought it. But the fins are now alot more brighter yellow. I feed it mysis, spirulina brine, nls pellets, clams, nori, hikari marine algae, reef & fish #1 from h20, & spirulina formula. I do soak some of the food in garlic & zoe. His favorite is the mysis & nls pellets by far. The vivid colors maybe from the lighting in my display vs. the lighting in your qt. Lets get an updated pic in about 2 weeks.
 
It's only been six days since the last pic I posted of my blueface but the new pic I took today surprised me w/ the changes in only 6 days. The tail is starting to become yellow & you can see the eyespot on the dorsal starting to show.

That's good news blface. I can also start to see that dot starting to form.

Mine is starting to get a speck of yellow on the fins now and it's body is fading a lot more. Will get a picture up maybe next week.
 
Well the blueface hasn't changed much these past 2 weeks but has grown a little bit. Looks like it should be close to 2" but i still have to actually metre him.

Here's a few pictures of my other fish in the meantime.

Ok here is the 11th week updates as promised to blface. I have moved his tank and rearranged a fews things in his tank. Also have added a real hood with a t8 bulb.


First picture is to show the yellow band now appearing around his eye.

Looking good. Mine hasn't changed since the last update. So I'll wait another week or so to post a new pic. When do you think you'll add him to the DT??
 
Sorry missed your question...

I think i'm gonna add him to the DT when he gets to about 3-4" but i may add him to my sump first. I still think he's way too small.
 
Yea I'm a little surprised at myself for selling him but my wife surprised me about 2 weeks ago with.... It was a early birthday present for me. Also I'm in the progress of purchasing my first home. Means I'll be very very busy. Hey bigger place means bigger tank for me LOL. I'm planned to get a 72" x 24" x 24" or a 72" x 24 x 32". Kinda liking the shorter tank for easy cleaning but who knows maybe i'll just get a 92" x 24" x 24" LOL.

Ok back to the juvenile blueface. I was only gonna sell it to someone very experienced at keeping saltwater fish and to my shock the person interested (Joe) has an amazing tank or should I said 2 tanks. He has won TOTM not once but twice for both tanks. See link here http://www.totm.aquariumpros.ca/TOTM/Sep2006.html So i feel that the blueface will find a great home.
 
I'm glad to hear you still will have a blueface in your collection. Mine is still doing great but hasn't really changed much since the last updated photo.
 
Yes Michael that is mine new adult blueface. It's about 4.5" and already eating anything and everything i throw at it.

I think i'm in love with this guy already but he is a little bossy LOL. Nothing major though.
