Fruju Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 In the future I'd like to keep carpets with some other native marines. What are some interesting husbandry tips you have picked up? What sex ratio do you have? What other species are in there? Is that a bluenose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Very nice tank. Are those the sharks you hatched out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes they are, they are starting to harass their tank mates of a night time. They are now at a breeding age and size so have my fingers crossed. Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Nice stocklist. Are you allowed to release them back into the wild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 All the water they have been swimming in is collected from the harbour also the coral rock used was cleaned then made live in the same water with no cross contamination from any tropical marine equipment etc.so yes they can go back.

Fruju Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 How often do you do waterchanges and how do you collect the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Water changes every 2 weeks 25% . Collect water locally with a 1,000 litre on a trailer and fill with a 12v bilge pump. Fruju 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 How long does that take? Sounds like a lot of labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
