Eric ,sweet wrasse ,good luck i know you can get that wrasse to live in your tank for longer then 4 months


Trev ,,you should try some live brine shrimp .Leopard wrasses are one of the hardest to keep .dont feel bad ,most dont make it

srry for the sight hijack eric

Yes Ronen, "digitalreefer" will have some live brine shrimp available on Thursday, hopefully the Leopard will start munchin' on it.

Your Leopard might turn his nose up at Baby brine as well!
Try getting some live adult brine (most LFS have some on the counter).
These guys have ZERO nutrition value but are great to get a fish to eat.
Put a little selcon in the shrimps water to let them feed on (gut load).
After they have pretty much cleared the water they are now nutritious (and live).
Turn off all water movement and add the shrimp. Your fish should eat.
If not you can add a few drops (read label) of Garlic Xtreme to the tank water to help induce a feeding response. If the brine works keep feeding but,
mix in the frozen mysis with it until you can faze out the brine.
Live black worms work sometimes as well...just drop a few into the tank as a test first.
Good luck!

My Leopard gets picky now and then but over all is a fat pig!!!
Oh Yeah..... they will sometimes eat nori as well.

Eric,

Man, these red tail tamarins are awesome. I love mine as well. It is out and about all the time. Picking on LR. Whatever I feed, it attacks: mysis, nori,

Managed to get a couple of decent (for me anyway) shots of it.

SWEET!!!!

Mine has really started eating like a pig....favorite food-frozen blood worms:tongue1:
She now has a menu (which she greedily eats), of frozen mysis,
blood worms, cyclop-eeze flakes, pellets, form 1 & 2,
peltata macro, nori, Live baby brine shrimp, black worms.....and still looking for more.
She's gonna flip when she finds all the pods and stuff that are in the display.:tongueani
The PB Tang and the wrasse swim/shadow each other everywhere, both getting quite fat together
- quite amusing to see!
They both get outta QT jail a week from Monday (torture).
Those ARE decent pics! If your fish is like mine....torpedoing at the speed of
light all over everywhere - it's impossable! My cameras lag is just to much to catch a decent shot.
