After 8 months of sitting empty in my closet, the Biocube 14 is REBORN! :mrgreen:
Sweet, what's your plan for it?? BTW, I wish I JUST had a 14G biocube in my closet :)
Good work, What ya puttin' in there ?
poor mandarin, they are slow eaters. maybe get him a buddy if you can get it feeding ;)
do you only feed him once a day? If so, that's probably why. Mandarins in the wild are constantly eating food in the wild and will constantly pick at pods on your rocks. If the only food he's getting is frozen from you then you'll probably need to feed him more than once a day.
No, I've been feeding him 4 times a day - That's why it doesn't make any sense...:(
Hmm that is weird, hopefully he fattens up after the move into the cube
Yeah, I miss my mandarin. However, I don't think I'll get another one. I actually ended up buying a little green clown goby a couple of weeks ago to go with the sergeant major.yea thats a shame about your mandarin, they are reallllllly sensative fish with highly demanding diets, its an unusual example that i have had my mandarin in my tank for over 4 months, but i am also obsessive and feed him everyday if not multiple times a day. they are almost impossible to keep in tanks with less that 100 pounds of live rock. he also did look pretty thin in the original picture, sometimes even if you manage to train them onto frozen food and get them eating regularyl enough to survive, by the time they are eating regularly, they are too thin to make it. [too far gone in otherowrds] dont be discouraged! it was not your tank it was the needs of the fish that didnt work for your tank. theres plenty of colourful alternatives, asi kno how enticing the mandarin can be. id jsut be cautious of another mandarin too soon. it could be possbile in the 14 but VERy difficult... good luck!
As for the acro, it's actually doing pretty well. :x: I have it at the very top of the aquarium on the left side. I'll try to get some pictures up sometime this week... ;)how is the acropora doing under the biocube lights? and where is its placement as of now
