So my purple anthias eat through osmosis

[derek_s]

I have seen it. YOu can also purchase them.. I will check into it... but I figured it out.

I looked into my container of live brine, and it has a lot of baby brine that I purchased from pets unlimited and it has young/baby brine in it. I turned on my pump, and the queens began eating again. I slowly snuck up to the tank, and sure enough it is the young brine that they are going after. So at least they are eating! Yay.

[steve]

[derek_s]

i don't mind it. i'm surprised that no one has made a comment about phagocytosis. btw, if you want to fish out some live mysid from my tank, your more than welcome to.

 

[derek_s]

i would love to do that if I was closer. I had some in my tank but I;m sure they are gone now since I temporarily house fish in my fuge occasionally.

 

[steve]

More like my fish... haha

if i am coming your way ill bring some.

 

[derek_s]

Honestly Steve, I have put mine in there too. After I QT them, i figure the fuge is a good place to acclimate to the water conditions but without fish competition. Like a 2 stage QT.

 

[steve]

You've only put new fish in there right, not ones outta the display?

 

[derek_s]

Welllll....the square is in there to see if I can get his fins to heal up for whatever reason they are tattered. The CBB is in there too fattening up. It is like another tank, haha

 

[steve]

oh I forgot about the square... I'll come by tomorrow night or Thursday.

I tried cyclopeeze as well and they seem to be eating it, too. Her eis a pic of them picking it out of the water:
