Why I removed my clownfish & 4 other fish.

Somehow, we managed to catch 6 fish from both the 135g and 17g reef tank by either fish trap, night attacks, and ripping the reef tank apart ungracefully. Regardless of method, the task is done. They are all now living their best lives in their respective aquariums; although a bit of a kicker... after 3 weeks of the filefish left the 135g, aiptasias are popping up again, unbelievable. Maybe it's time to try a Copperband Butterfly fish?

So when Leon becomes the worlds foremost marine biologist and I am an old man I will still remember where it all started! Good job involving the kids. I used to rock my daughter in front of my old 55 back in 2004 and the first thing she got when she moved out last summer was a 20 gallon reef tank. And she wanted all my corals to do what dad does! I have never been more proud of her. 6 months later she has 2 tanks so she got the bug for sure.

Love it and congrats on raising a great [reef loving] kid! I’m hoping to not force the whole fish tank hobby onto my son and just let it develop naturally… thankfully Leon seems to be very keen to claim everything in the tanks as his, so I think we’re on a good path. 😂

Just so you know, the mating process of the cardinals involves the male holding the eggs (and not eating) for an extended period of time. As such, they typically need "practice" so the male can go so long without eating. This typically means that they will have multiple clutches of eggs they will bail on. So that might be what you were also seeing in the 17G

U can tell the male buy the jaw , more square and larger , I had an engineer goby bigger than that moons back , ended up rejoining in my cousins tank which he made it centre piece fish , he got another and they were like eels coming out of the rockwork , right tank for the right fish

@ultimatefishkeeping Жыл бұрын

I think the traps are useless. I had it. The best way is to lift out the rock you saw the Bristleworm going into, and you pour Soda into the hole, which irritates the worm, and it will come out. Another way is to put the Rock in a bowl with a small of Tank water in the bowl just enough for the bottom of the rock to be in water, as the water comes out the Rock the Bristle Worm will come out in search of water so it can breathe and then you lift the rock up until it drops into the bowl. You do not want to pull it because the segments will snap, and you will still have the worm in the Aquarium. I hope this helps. Take care, Sir. 👍🙂❤️

@Happy Chappy Well that is good that it has worked for you. Boxer Shrimp and Longnose Wrasse Fish are also very good at getting rid of Bristleworms. They eat them. I prefer the Wrasses as they are more active and are less likely to be caught by Britsle Worms especially if you have a school of Five or Six together. 👍🙂❤️

@InappropriateReefer Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the soda water idea! The tricky part is that that huge arch is one piece cemented together and not easy to remove from the tank... so I may have to try the trap. I have a feeling that the melanurus wrasse is keeping the large bristleworm on guard so it is not as bold, may be a good thing, but also make it a little trickier to snatch!

Try layers of filter floss, I use 3 layers of dual sided floss, and a super fine floss as a last stage, keeps the water about as bright and clear as possible without carbon, or anything else. Also, since the tank is new, it may take a while for the water to clear up, patience is key.
