orange yumas (interested?)

[jenniebutterfly]

scotty~ sorry to hear about the bad luck you had with them. i have yet to lose a coral from fishtown, knock on wood, and the yumas look very happy today. the guy also threw in some floating freebies and i looked it up on dr. foster and smith and found out that it is a non photosynthic softie so this might be a problem. never had a non photosynthic coral before and there is no mouth that i can see sooooooooo long story short, i may lose this one from them lol.

oh and spykes~ catching the fish with cyanide is bad, and when you buy those fish it helps keep the demand for them up, they will just keep doing it and depleting and ruining the natural reefs. you should always try to get aquacultured stuff when you can. i can't say if my fish are or not, but if you know they are caught with cyanide then you should not buy them

ok went there today to pick up a yuma rock for my sister in law, it was the last one.

 

[spykes]

yeha i got one today! both but the green wasnt 14.95

 

[spykes]

yeah i got tons of yuma freebies today. =/ i dont buy fish from them i bought one time and kept seeing my neighbor buy more and more, and saw how empty his tank was LOL! i wonder why

 

[jenniebutterfly]

hehe the $14.95 was a special price for me, the guy i deal with hooked me up

they were not priced when i was there yesterday, but today i saw one for $41 lol.

 

[spykes]

Damn it!!! why can't i have dumb mofo's around my way....Jeez. Sweet score guys and gals. Jennie thanks for the heads up though it was too late for yours truly . You are promoted to Megaphone status, use your power wisely. Last guy who was promoted quickly became wolf crier..lol

I went to Fishtown yesterday, and after a long drive I was very dissapointed with what I found there. Was it just a bad day? You guys seem to like the place and a Doc I work with recommended it but I seen bigger, healtier pieces in world class for similar prices?

 

[jenniebutterfly]

drzl~ why do i have to be the megaphone? lol, i try not to go there too often, but when i saw that i had to let people know. i have never seen a yuma in person till that time.

mandarin~ you should call and find out when their coral shipment will be coming in. and then call that day to make sure it got there, which usually happens around 4 pm. sometimes it gets delayed so thats why i say to be sure and call. their stuff goes really fast, also they add a 20% discount after checkout, so make sure to check that they are doing it, i had one guy forget to do it

Hay,

Just wondering how's the yuma you guys got from FishTown is doing? My is not doing too well.....several polys die for no reason....all my corals and fishes are fine. Hmmmm...i wonder why.

 

[jenniebutterfly]

i have a couple that died off too did not notice till you said something, but most are still ok. hmmmmmmm never had this happen to me before. my sister in laws are all doing fine.

 

[samksy]

Okay, then, there's something wrong with the Yuma itself.......hmmm...anyone else have the same problem?

Any yuma reefer can give us some tips on what's wrong? What do they need and where is the best place to place yuma and etc......? You don't need to target feed yuma right? Thanks

 

[dragonwrasse]

I read this post too late, and didn't get any. However, someone told me that all of his died and then them all came back.

 

[spykes]

samsky mine had one death but wanna know why? the polyps were glued on! they were attacking each other! so i had to spearate each peice now 2 inch span each. BTW word of advice on fishtown corals, they use flourscent so their shocked when you use metal haildes.

 

[samksy]

Hopefully all of them gonna come back.....
Just relocated them to the bottom of the tank, hope it works. Thanks

 

[joseney21]

fishtown seems to glue all their corals to rock, i bought some mushrooms from them that were all glued to the rock.they've done fine though

 

[jenniebutterfly]

yeah i have never had a problem with any corals i had purchased from them before. i don't have halides either. i looked at the rock, and the ones that did melt left a small nub so maybe they will regrow there. i try to target feed my rics, both these, and the florida kind and none of them accept food from me, go figure lol.

 

[spykes]

jennie they are fighting with each other, corals do fight, Yumas are teriotorial. BTW fishtown doesnt take care of their stuff.
