Greg's 75g

[gregzz4]

I returned the Male Lyretail as I couldn't get him eating anything besides nori and frozen

Nibbler is happy to be in the DT, fits in well and has gone to town on the algae ( I'll be plucking out the stuff he's not eating)


The wrasse 'wives' went through the introduction tank well
The Lubbok's fit right in within hours, but the Solar is just now roaming around. She's a big fraidy-cat


Another shot for you all of the holding tank I buillt

Well, I only feed frozen every other night, and nori a couple times a week
I'm thinking he would have slowly starved.
Isn't that along the lines of Morality ?

Thanks for that. The box worked great. Cost me $50 to build it but it was worth every dollar.
More morality here

When I took him in J&L had a huge amount of Lyretails.

Be prepared to own either 1 or 7+

Don't buy one unless you plan on owning 6 or 7+

Couldn't you just feed it every night?

Are you kidding me ?
I Can't feed one fish while the other dozen are eating the same food on a different cycle !!!
I don't feed the fish frozen everyday, but rather flakes and frozen every other day alternating

Brad, you're a turd

It's possibly because it's late and I'm tired, but none of that made any sense to me Just feed the fish frozen everyday and then they're all happy. I'm going to bed -lol

Brads got a point there buddy boy. Shoukd just feed frozen at night and pellets and flakes in the morning and double dose on the weekends...

Alright, I'll clarify this before I also go to bed ...

My fish eat pellets for lunch everyday. Period.
My fish eat flakes and frozen for dinner, alternating each night.
I feed nori 2 or 3 times/week

So, the Lyretail that I just returned to J&L (totally ICH free after a 12 week schedule) would only eat nori and frozen.

The Lyretail wouldn't eat pellets, so he never eats lunch.
The Lyretail wouldn't eat flakes, so he never eats dinner every other night.
The Lyretail eats frozen, so he eats dinner every other night.

Maybe the Lyretail eats some Nori every couple days, but that's not food for him.

If he only eats every other day/2-3 times per week, and only once/day, don't you think he would starve ????

Where's the Morality here ?
I returned the little guy before he starved in my tank ......
