My Tiger

[Blue Ring Sting]

Hey all

I thought I would post a picture of my freshly caught baby. Enjoy.

Very nice. At what depth do you usually collect at?

 

[humaguy]

nice...how is she health wise? flukes? eating?

 

[pktech]

Hmmm not sure I really like this fish. Maybe it should be in my system for a while (just to make sure)

 

[Rare Angels]

Wow, my jaw hit the floor when seen the picture!!!!!

 

[rachenbrazil]

Nice catch ! Details please !

 

[M.phenax]

Pretty baby

 

[slgcmg]

Wow. You caught your own?

 

[pktech]

It's what he does

 

[small alien]

Man, that is a purdy fish.

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

She was caught at about 40 m. Eating mussels, no flukes that I can see. Treating just incase, dont want any diseases or infections. She is healthy, my preferred method of collecting is staged decompression and not needling. Yeah pktech is right. I dive and collect some of my own fish in SA. She is about 18 cm.

O.O oohhhhh awwwweeeee. Nice catch

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

Thanks man. Fighting with him a bit today. He is deciding not to eat what I was giving him. Now back to the drawing board.

 

[SDguy]

Lovely fish! Hope she starts eating.

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

He devoured mussels yesterday no problem, now today he is not eating again. I am trying with alot of different foods, I will get it right, not too stressed.

 

[SDguy]

IME fish that stop eating after eating well have an issue... either water quality of some disease onset... even minor. Be vigilant.

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

Yeah it could be, I dont doubt that, Tigers are difficult fish to keep, they need to be treated from the beginning to prevent any disease outbreaks. Definitely not water quality but I think he will eat a bit later again. He is grazing still, but just not eating the food I am giving, I have encrusted live rock that he is picking at.

 

[SDguy]

Yeah I've also experienced fish "skipping a day" with foods.

 

[pktech]

And probably getting used to bumping into this invisible wall surrounding her.

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

She is eating now again. Had some ON Angel Formula. The last few I caught did the same. Eat a bit and then stop.
