ok..well im glad that i am hearing sucess stories about the red slime remover...it seems to be working for me too...i dont see any more red slime and i havnt seen any in the past day or 2 so im guessing it worked well...also i believe my tank had finished cycling....which could also have been a cause of my fish's deaths...cause i just checked the water params and the
pH was at 8.0, no ammomia, no
nitrates or
nitrites. so i think its finally done cycling... also..today i am getting my first fish since the puffer...about a month ago...my
lfs recieved a moorish idol in randomly and i know how they are finikey eaters....but this one actually eats the flakes they were feeding it..i watched it eat 2ce. i thought it was amazing.
lol
anyway...since my water params are up to
par. and my tank has been finally stabalized for the past few days..(no more ich or any other weird things going on w. it...) i am going to get the idol and house him w. the puffer until after the new year when i have my other tank up, running and fully cycled. i believe that this is a once in a lifetime opprotunity to get one of these fish that actually accept food so willingly. since i have heard that they rarely eat in captivity. so im gona get it and the same exact food that the
lfs is feeding him.
how do you think i should cycle my tank? ive heard many different options...im not gonna go with the damsels again. cause the one striped damsel was starting to piss me off.....so im done w. them... should i do the raw shrimp idea or maybe even a silverside? i also have other misc frozen fish goods in my freezer..from what i feed the eel...kalamari, salmon, and scallops... and i also heard that using uncured
live rock is a good way to cycle the tank...but i dont want anything in there that is going to be bad for the tank...
any ideas?
thanks =]
