My Pico Tank

After giving my seahorse to my brother as I have no time to take care of them. Seahorse needs to feed them more than 3 times a day, to maintain healthy and fat.

My tanks as at 23 Oct 11:

The two casualties: one Azure Damselfish and one Green Chromis in the bottom tanks been eaten up by the lionfish. I think it is the lionfish because the stomach of the lionfish is sooo... fat the next day when I discovered my fish is missing. 

I also realised the lionfish does not eat clownfish, I think the clownfish produces some form of protection on their skin, the same protection that allows them to live in Anemone. So the lionfish will not eat them. Therefore, decided to add two more clown fish to the bottom tanks.

Seahorses

Last few posts ago, I mentioned on I am working on  a project which I have been running for months, it is the seahorses. It have been more than 3 months since I started keeping seahorse. One of my seahorse gives birth in beginning of October.

I will next time discuss on how to keep a seahorses, it is not so difficult as it thinks.

Popeye Part 4

I have been busy recently due to my work.

This part, I will discuss what I do when my sweetlips has popeye on one of its eyes. Since my sweelips are eating well so I did the following:

1.  20% Water change every 5 days
2.  Mix the foods with Vitamins and  GarlicGuard
3. Most importantly mix foods with SeaChem KanaPlex.

Follow this regiment for 2-3 weeks, the problem will be greatly reduced. As for my sweetlips, the eye never get de-swell but it becomes healthy again.

KanaPlex

Product Description

Because it is absorbed by fish it is useful in treating internal infections in those situations where food is refused. It does not adversely affect the filter bed and is easily removed with carbon. To enhance palatability use with GarlicGuard. Food may be refrozen. For use in freshwater or marine aquaria.

I have 2 Kanaplex to spare, if you need it urgently, just reply to me.  The Kanaplex has been added to the DIY food.
