What shrimp has it eaten?

Here we called it gray shrimp.
It's used for food.
I remove the head and the shell and chopped it in a multiprocessor.

I've always have better results with this kind of shrimp, compared with industrialized fresh food.
Recently I give the Goldpods from Nyos a shot and the fishes didn't take it.....Neither anthias and CBB, nor yellow coris and Smithii goby (my 2 most carnivorous fishes)
Plus, the shrimp is a cheaper option.

A fish that I've tried a few times before.
Very interesting color and behaviour
Goodbye aiptasias......

That milli's coloration is fascinating. parts of it are completely blue while others are completely green and others are half and half. How did that happen?

It's because the yellow filter that I must use for filming. Otherwise, everything turns into blue.
The real color is basically a two shades of blue: one deeper, in the tips and one paler, a little greenish, in the body.
This greenish part is highlighted by the filter.

Ah thanks for that explanation.

I decided to give the Green Chromis another shot, but this time I'll do it in a little different way.
I got 15 small fishes at once, and put them in my frag tank a month ago.
In my tank I already had 6 fishes, 3 bigs and 3 mediums.
The new ones are very small, some of them with a less than ½ inch of length. They're arrived a little thin and 2 of them died in the first night.
After that I started to feed them 6, 7 and sometimes, 8 times a day.
After a week, I did this first video of them:
<iframe width="500" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-_QA0IR22Vo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
After almost a month in the frag tank I decided to put them in the display tank, due to the arrival of a new fish.
Until now the older ones are not harassing the new ones, but one of the group of 6 previous fishes, died 2 weeks ago. So, now I have 18 fishes.
They spend most of their time in the upper part of the big island, where some of my bigger acros are, specifically my Blue Oregon tortuosa.
<iframe width="500" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ilmr_S1Q0wE" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The fishes are healthy, eating well and slowly growing.
I hope that the growth of the acros plus the bigger group lead me to a success that I didn't get until now.
Now I'm thinking about to add a dozen more fishes, to get a really big group. My Discus experience show me that some fish really needs a bigger group to get well.
I'll keep posting about it.
Bed time.

Since the beginning I want that this tank shows some biodiversity.
Choose fishes that are reef safe and skips the common sense of: tangs+tangs+clowns=reef tank is a very hard task.
Recently, after a friend got a Bluethroat triggerfish I decided to give it a shot.
The Picasso trigger is one of my favorite fishes off all, but I need something that don't destroy my corals.
Looking at some threads I discover the Pinktail triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) a potentially reef safe triggerfish which have a very interesting color, body shape, swimming pattern and personality........Everything that I wanted in a fish!
So, I give it a try:

Last week I did some minor changes in the layout,
I remove a lot of things that are laying in the sandbed. I glued some, removed some to the frag tank and sold some.
Now things are back in the track again.
It's hard to keep the tank from turn into to a coral shop display or a deposit.
No big changes was made but I'm a lot happier now.
Plus, the new fishes always brings the tank some fresh....air....
Hope you enjoy.
