Flagtails

Posted: November 7th, 2010, 10:47pm CST by magman

I was getting some water today, and remebered a friend telling me of the flagtails he has in his pooll. I also actually going to add some goldies for my QT/holding tank (will soon be my fly tank), I am sure they would help new fish settle in and encourage them to eat, basically calm and settle them. they also help cause if you feed several times a day they help take up the excess food etc.

What worried me though, if you have to add meds etc, or run hypo for new fish, then goldies maybe wont be strong enough. While the garden boy was getting me about 600l's of water I was diving and checking pools, so anyway I saw the flagtails and caught 5. I put them in the tank, and they were eating withinn 5 minutes, they really eat with vigour, they tough as nails, and they shoal in a very tight ball, tighter than chromis, and they look much nicer than chromis. It's just that they look like guppies, so I will never put them in my DT. But awesome liitle fish, does anyone else have them and what's their experience with them

Sharks

I did my first shark dive a Few weeks ago. Pooped myself at first, but the hour with them was very exciting. I will upload some of the PIC's ADVdiver took a little later but here is a vid snippet of some of the Bronzies and black tips. We also saw two hammerheads but to far away to video or take a pic. The vis was a little murky but Enjoy.

Can I get fish yet?

Posted: November 7th, 2010, 9:58am CST by matt_rodgers

Hi everyone

I just wanted some opinions as to whether my tank is ready for fish yet.

I bought the tank (300 litres) about month ago with live sand and DSB, it had been running for about 5 months then.

Since I have had it it has been cycling with live rock for 4 weeks. There was a huge brown algae bloom a couple weeks ago which is finally starting to go away now slowly.

The parameters are:

NO3 - 10
NO2 - 0
Ca - 500
KH - 6
pH - 8.2

I want to start with a couple clowns and a peppermint shrimp, would it be alright to get these now?

Any advice would be appreciated! :)

Thanks!
