    Default Forrest's Fish Video

    Hey all,

    Just a little video update of my seafood killers in action. They don't really mess around. One second you see it and the next you don't!

    you just encouraged me to get a vid of my discus eating as well. mine have never ate with such passion though no matter what i feed them. they still finish everything though which is fine by me. expect a vid thread soon from me Eddie, thanks for the idea. i wish i knew where the heck my sony camcorder is, it's quite frustrating to be honest, haven't seen it for a while

    Thanks Ricardo, it's only been a week and they are growing like crazy already!

    3 X Blue Scorpion/ 3 X Penang Eruption/ 2 X Pearl Diamond

    Sorry about the video quality, still trying to figure out the best way to compress them and keep the quality. The original video is crystal clear.

    Thanks Forrest, the quality of the fish makes a huge difference. I have never been able to literally notice the growth in a fish in 1 week. These guys are doing fantastic!

    I couldn't thank you enough for sending me such nice specimens.

    Thank you,

    Eddie

    I'll see if I can get one. I will mess around with the compression and see if I can keep the good quality of the video too.

    I know, all the tanks kill the mix. It's like a frenzy every time!

    Great looking fish. How often do you feed the seafood mix? I like seeing those blue scorps in a video. I would like to order some soon. Forrest fish do grow fast. I got some 3.5-3.75" fish from Kenny's DEC order and now two of them already are 5" and doing the dance together. Not sure yet if a pair but cetainly act like it bowing and shivering next to each other and picking at the intake tube. Will be interested to see more pictures of yours as they grow.

    Hey Scott, I try to hit them with 6-8 light feedings of the mix and 2-4 feedings with ON Prime Reef. That's my target anyways. They definitely get 10 light feedings no matter what, every day. I do 100% WC daily also to keep the tank spotless. Fish poo builds up fast feeding that often but I control with the WCs.

    I'd really like to see some pics of yours too, especially the possible pair. The BSs are the biggest in my group and growing fast. Only had them a week now and already see growth.

    Thanks for the comment
