my new buddy

Just thought I'd share him/her with you all....:inlove:

You just really have a thing for hard to keep fish, don't you? :lol:

Looks good, I hope he does well for you

 

[twiggyb]

Thank you! Yeah, I guess so. Hopefully it's not harder then the filefish.

 

[Aqua Man 07]

thats one crazy looking fish hope it does well for you

 

[twiggyb]

Thanks! He's eating live ghost shrimp, now it's the hopefully not so long, if at all, journey to get it to take frozen. It'll suck up a mysis or two every 10 or so :lol: Monday I'll try to feed a little bit of a silverside.

 

[logiktest]

Really neat! Are you gonna let it eat your Filefish?

 

[twiggyb]

If he doesn't act right and keeps eating acros! Just playing. I don't mind if he dines on the corn on the cob of the sea. The filefish is eating mysis with more gusto lately so that's good. As far as this guy, he's doing well with gut loaded ghost shrimp, but I'll continue the stride to turn it to frozen.

Well just thought I'd update this thread. He didn't eat any frozen food at all once I got him, ate a couple dead ghost shrimp by tricking him into thinking they were moving when they were in the net, but if it fell out of the net and to the ground he would just ignore it. Since I've got my sun corals and put them in his tank, I just noticed him sucking up some mysis and brine as it drifted across his face. Maybe I'll try feeding him some frozen next week.

He's eating marine cuisine last night and tonight a lot more. I'll try feeding during the day to see if he takes to it better.
