powder blue one week birthday

[who dey]

thought i'd update everyone on my powder blue. i know this fish is one of the more delicate tangs out there, but after one week he has adapted to the algae sheets, eats mysis shrimp and kelp flakes and also anything else that gets in his way. i am very pleased! he is the ruler of his little world :happy:

Is he getting along with your other fish? Heard they can be very shy, how is yours adapting? Glad to hear from your posts that he is eating the sheets now!! Ever get that snail eating problem under control?

he has adapted very well they are the best of friends. Coral beauty follows him everywhere my two percs are more vibrant and energetic and my gramma well, we all know how grammas are. they love their caves but no fear at all. the powder is definately not shy. as for the snails they were hitting the algae buffet lastnight, i'm used to it now.lol :happy:

Did you try hanging the sheets like was said on yesterdays thread or just letting them feast?
Powder Blues are beautiful good luck! Although everyone says they are hard, the beauty in them is worth the effort!!
What is you next fish to add?

didn't try the close line trick. still have the goofy lookin nemo clip. arrissa said she was going to send me a better looking clip though. this is the last fish addition to my reef so i thought i'd go out with a bang!!! :jumping:

Your sure don't want the police on you!!
Nemo clips I think just look cheap in a tank. Hopefully a blue clip will look better!
No new fish additions, hoping for a new coral of some sort?

i'm all about the coral additions!!! i'm sure the police will be investigating but i have it all planned out for an expansion down the road :happyfish

How big are you going next??
Is your powder blue small enough to keep for a while?
You know the police they are all over you if they do not agree with the size of your tank?

 

[who dey]

thinking 125 or something along those lines. He's not very big about 3.5" and i make sure he lives in a 5 star environment. i pay very close attn to him and my water conditions :joy:

 

[coralcrazy]

I am sure you do! You post very helpful advice. You have a 55 right now I believe I read, when you going to upgrade? You going to keep your 55 and get a 125 also?

 

[who dey]

thanks glad i can be of some help out here! won't be keeping the 55gal. probably put it up for sale on the site :jumping:

 

[coralcrazy]

Come on, two tanks are always better than one!! When you thinking of upgrading?
Have any new pics of your tank and your powder?

kinda limited on space in the condo. house hunting soon! already have the filtration from my 120 in college probably set it up in the next six months or so. no new pics, will snap a few tomorrow

 

[coralcrazy]

That's exciting new house and tank by the fall!! Good luck finding a house!! In this hobby, you have to find a house where you can picture the tank sitting the room. Adds a whole new level to house hunting!!
What kind of camera do you have for your pics? I think I am ready for a new digital!!

 

[who dey]

the one i had before i borrowed from my twin sister it was a canon. i have a sony at work thats kinda old but should work pretty well ill bring it home tomorrow. i wouldn't ask my advice on camera's, don't know jack!!lol i bet if you launched a thread in the aquarium forum youd get some great replies. some unbelievable pics on the site :jumping:

 

[coralcrazy]

Great pics you are right! Thanks, I will post a thread tomorrow to see which camera people like the most!
Back to the original thread I strayed from, GLAD YOUR POWDER BLUE IS DOING WELL!! :cheer:

 

[who dey]

enough of my tank whats yours all about :notsure:

 

[coralcrazy]

Just a small nano tank! Such an expensive hobby, all the cash flow will allow for now!! Can only dream of getting a bigger tank once the $$ allows. Love hearing about all of your big tanks. Good friend got me into the hobby and hope to only grow into bigger sizes.

oh it'll grow! i started with a 10 gallon on my bedside table in college then got a 29 then a 120 now 3 years later when i quit for awhile i have the 55. should have kept the 120 huh

 

[coralcrazy]

What got ya back into the hobby again after 3 years? Once you start just makes you want to add more!! Hopefully you kept that 120 after you took a break. Just amazing how much everything costs!
