Aggressive Tank Video

Warning! Watch your volume at about 30 seconds in... there was a slight disruption and I reacted to it...
This is one of the tanks I will be taking down due to a move.

Cool video. I need to ask though, why are you feeding your saltwater fish feeder fish? And what size is your tank?

 

[ozmotron]

They love it - special treat. They get a variety of foods. Its a 125 gal.

 

[lion_crazz]

Oh okay. I was just wondering. The fish look really good and healthy. I like the wrasse a lot.

 

[sw65galma]

What are those feeder? silversides?

 

[ozmotron]

Minnows, I think for this vid. This is several months old.

 

[sw65galma]

What other live things do you feed? I'm getting a spearer mantis and I need to know what i can feed it live...something that can live in SW for awhile.

 

[ozmotron]

Rosies, occasional goldfish (bloodbath), ghost shrimp. They also get frozen food -- squid, marine entree, and also flake food, veggie and regular. They are meat eaters, but variety is good. They also go nuts for cucumbers.
Guppies will live in SW for a time, but its expensive. Ghost shrimp or brine shrimp would work I think, and live for a while.

i like the cat...

 

[angelsrock]

what kind of wrasse is that, it's pretty sweet looking

 

[vejomatic]

tooooo cooool.....

 

[ozmotron]

Glad everyone likes it. I will miss the fish, but my wife and I will probably sell them back to the lfs for livestock credit and re-establish our tanks after we complete our closing and moving.
The wrasse is a lunare. Great personality and total pig.

 

[angelsrock]

that was a lunare, i thought they were green with pink swirls on the face. is there a difference between male and female.

 

[ozmotron]

There is pink in the face. Kinda hard to see from a distance, and with the speed of this fish. Don't know how to --- them though.

That was AWESOME!!! :jumping: Sooooooooo cool - what did you use to film that?
Poor snowflake...he's too slow for minnows

 

[robchuck]

Nice video!
And I like your choice of Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover" for the bed music.

Used a Fuji Finepix 5500 (more of a digicam than a 'corder) but it worked. Eel is usually fed with a wooden stick. He actually does catch one on the vid in the corner, about 30 sec till the end. He's pretty fast, but blind as a bat.
