This is my batch of Banggai Cardinals that has been raised from day one on Otohime. They were feed two batches of BBS about a week after release as insurance since I was goign away fro a 3 day weekend but other than that almost all Otohime A, B1, and now some of the new TD Oto C1   Chad Penney - MBI Council Agis quod Adis   #1 alexk3303 Total Posts : 24 Scores: 0 Reward points : 74 Joined: 10/3/2010 Location: Grand Rapids, MI Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Banggai raised on prepared foods Friday, April 22, 2011 10:05 PM (permalink) 0 That's awesome.

It seems that I found the right amount of flow on try #1. The tank that the babies where in also had a decent amount of LR in it. I suspect that this created places for the fry to get in and out of the current as they saw fit. So there were areas of high flow and lots of food movement and outside of feeding time the fry could move to lower flow areas to save energy.

It happens to her all the time at places where they having things filed Last name first, like at doctor's offices. Which makes no sense to me as they look at those things all day long and KNOW that they are Lastname, Firstname...   So in short yes there is a lack of desire to be called "penney" Just remember it can be dangerous to tick off the guy the does all the coding here Chad Penney - MBI Council Agis quod Adis   #15 woodstock Total Posts : 231 Scores: 3 Reward points : 263 Joined: 8/18/2010 Location: Hillsborough, NC Status: offline MBI: 1190 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Banggai raised on prepared foods Thursday, July 21, 2011 10:25 AM (permalink) 0 Do you ship?

My good male dissappeared while on Vacation and I'm trying to get more Brood stock in place as we speak. I have whatI think is a male in QT right now that I've gotten weaned onto pellet food and should be coming out soon.   These hot temps aren't helping much either as I'm starting to think they have something to do with the males not holding to term.
