Re: How to improve the sex life of my mandarin

They do display to each other, I'm pretty sure. I've heard that's a thing they do. Everytime I glance at my Reidi, she's displaying to me, too.

Re: How to improve the sex life of my mandarin

Confirmed, that's a female. She does look a bit underweight, so you'll definitely need to get some meat on her bones.

keeping midas blennies and mandarin fish

Hi,

I'm excited to share that my new Oceanix Tank is finally up and running. My pair of H.Reidi should be making the move from their current tank in about a week's time.

The new tank is a decent size, 24"x16"x19" high, which works out to roughly 120 litres. I'm planning to house my pair of ...

Re: seahorses and cucumber

Thanks for the advice, guys. I'm planning on getting them after Christmas, my parents are getting me vouchers to help out with the cost of the live rock and CUC. I'll be getting all the essentials from work, and then a couple of months later, I'll be bringing home the seahorses. I'm thinking of just ...

seahorses and cucumber

Hey all,
I'm considering getting a pair of H. erectus for my 20 gal high, with plenty of LR and a stacked high setup. I've already got some calupera growing, including red grape and another red type, which should provide a nice surface for them to attach to.

I know I need to avoid mixing energetic ...

Re: keeping h. reidi seahorses

Just fed them some frozen mysis today and they chomped it down no problem.

Female's looking great still


Male's still got that awesome colour


Both of them together, still loving the clicking noise when they eat

keeping h. reidi seahorses

Got my seahorses on the perfect day - Valentines Day. They're absolutely stunning. The guy I got them from gave me some river shrimp to help them start eating, and they just dove right in. Amazing eaters, I'm telling you. When they eat, they make this clicking noise that's actually pretty loud ...

Re: sharing a different view

I'd definitely recommend considering a refractometer for measuring salinity, they tend to be way more accurate than hydrometers which can sometimes give you slightly off readings.

Re: Hammer corals making a comeback

I'm still amazed it came back, to be honest - the skeleton looked completely lifeless for a solid month before I saw the buds. I mean, it had zero visible tissue, just a bare skeleton. It's crazy to think about how many other euphyllias I might've tossed that could've made a comeback. Maybe I'd ...

Re: Hammer corals making a comeback

Just figured I'd follow up on this for anyone interested. The buds on my skeleton are multiplying, which is pretty crazy considering there was zero visible tissue on it initially. I'd normally have tossed it by now, but I guess this just goes to show you shouldn't write off your euphyllias too ...
