beautiful ..soo serene :)
 
That's all you can do, have you tried fresh seafoods yet? I've had good luck with fresh clams and mussels. Also good choice on the Bandit. If my wife wouldn't kill me for spending close to a grand on a fish I'd totally get one!

Looks Great Mark. You need to use the full "https://youtube.com/watch/watch?v=XXXXXXXX" link as compared to the "https://yout.ube/video=XXXXXXX" style link, when in a post click the movie film looking icon and paste the link in there.

I wish I could give you some tips, but unfortunately I did not see them eat anything yet, and I tried pretty much everything. Last week I put couple of anthias in qt with them to hopefully teach them how to eat. Both are still fat and healthy looking. I am actually considering putting them in my DT, I see no sign of any parasites. If you succeed with yours getting them to eat post your experience please.

Thanks Josh !
 
Will do. I tried a regal once like that. Tried every type of fish food I could get my hands on plus fresh seafood and nothing. Have you tried roe? I've gotten roe from the local Asian mart and my fish went nuts for it.

Yes, I did, no luck so far, did your trio arrived yet?
 
Yes got them today. They all arrived in good shape. Although after introducing into my office tank the largest seems to be picking on the smaller two. I hope that doesn't last much. The smallest one is maybe an 1" so idk how well he'll be able to handle any serious bullying

My smallest one unfortunately arrived dead, it was about the same size as yours. I really hope you have better luck with yours. Like I said before, if they don't eat soon, I will let them in DT to see what happens.
 
I know your pics are some of the best here, yet your are the only ones that have a broken link for me. What gives?
