The eagles are landing today!

[SDguy]

All three fish are actively eating. I have to admit, the muelleri is a lot more attractive in person! The richness of the dark color is really pretty.

 

[SDguy]

BTW, who got the paucifasciatus on LADD today??

 

[velvetelvis]

Beautiful fish, congrats!

 

[LukFox]

Not me. :spin2: It was tough to pass, but I had to.

 

[Curious George]

Hot dang I dig your taste in fish! Very nice.

Peter -

Do you ever get any butterflies to eat pellets?

 

[Dr Colliebreath]

Ken,

My falcula, ulietensis and saddleback all eat NLS pellets (as does my Moorish Idol). They also eat Omega veggie flakes.

 

[pinnatus]

Thanks. My Moorish is a pig and eats anything. But my 4-eyed butterfly is surviving on whatever it is that it picks on. It is fat, but I would prefer it to eat prepared foods, especially pellets. It doesn't even eat Rod's food, at least not out of the water column.

It might eat food/pellets off the bottom, I can't tell. It does peck at stuff right after feeding time.

 

[SDguy]

Several of my butterflies eat pellets. The rainfordi will only eat ON Formula 2 pellets though. The collare, semilarvatus, and robustus do not eat pellets. I doubt the collare ever will since it's been like 2 years at this point.

Come on Peter, that Declivis has to go in the reef.

 

[ShellsSD]

Just watched the QT video for about the 5th time and still drooling.

Beautiful fish!!!!

 

[Sheol]

OK, enough is enough. Peter your going to cause a Butterfly Fad if this keeps up!
For myself, its sad so few are even halfway reef compatable.
Oh well, lovely fish! Congrats!

Matthew

Gorgeous fish, they love that mysis, that is for sure.

 

[SDguy]

Thanks Steve. I've never had a declivis before. I thought the previous one that died was acting/eating normally. Not at all, compared to this one!

 

[pookstreet]

Very nice, Peter. Makes me wished I could set up a FOWLER

 

[The Escaped Ape]

I agree. I'd never seen the attraction of a FOWLR before (is the FOWLER a new variation?), but now I'm really beginning to understand it. Those are beautiful fish - thanks for sharing.

 

[SDguy]

Thanks! They really are great looking fish... can't wait to see them in a DT.

Very nice, Peter. Makes me wished I could set up a FOWLER

Just get another garage

Very nice, Peter. Makes me wished I could set up a FOWLER

DITTO:bounce3:

Not to alarm you, but are you treating them with any meds right now? Looking at the video around the 1:10 mark, you can see the Declivis scratching itself on the rock. Not sure if it's just a random thing, but might consider prazi if you haven't done so already. I'm sure it's in your plan, but it was just an observation. Beautiful fish by the way!!
