Sorry I don't want to hijack this tread, but Thanks for sharing Walter.

I will try that on my CB. I have 2 and already started eating PE Mysis. That's a brilliant idea.

Still pigging out on oysters. Saw some sampling of red seaweed today.

Interesting, the little guy's dorsal streamer has grown over 2 inches since Friday. Bigger guy just started regrowing his, quite a bit behind the smaller fish. Smaller still seems more settled than the bigger one.
When it comes time to re-home, the big one will hopefully go to larger tank.

End of week 1. Both fish doing well, eating clams and oysters. Bigger one is now eating mysis and the smaller is sampling the purple algae.
I need to do a 50% water change tomorrow, as I can notice the effects of dumping in all this food!
Dorsal filaments are growing like crazy. Smaller fish doesn't look like he's put on any weight, but looks more relaxed in the tank vs the larger fish.

Read an article by Bob Fenner suggesting always add MIs in pairs, I think maybe Bob has a drinking problem. We'll see

It's not a drinking problem if that's the gospel he's preaching 0___0

Interesting news today. There is another local guy that also got a pair of MI from the same box. Both eating before mine, but lasted only a week. I have no idea how that tank is setup to compare to mine.

Mine are both eating everything but pellets now, so hopefully I'm doing something righter..

We probably need another pic about now.

Ya, probably. Maybe a pic of them biting me, or eating putty?
