7 so far I’m happy! Now to get these guys eating! I’ve fed the tank 4 times since I got home… only thing they’ve ate was stuff coming outta my zeolite reactor when I shook it and pumped it into the tank.::

I had to move my happy acro.. I was worried it would get upset but that wasn’t the case! My bill murray was about to encrust over it or start a fight! I moved it up a little higher par and better flow and all is well! This thing is crazy how fast it grows! Old spot to the new one.. snapped a pic without the polyps to see the colors. You can see they were touching for the most part before its new home.

Queens are stunning, one of my favorites. Good luck with them! I tried a bunch several years ago but could not get them to eat.

They are beautiful fish! I’m down to 5 already but they are eating like pigs so hopefully it all goes well!

Try frozen Calanus to feed the purple queen. Worked for me when I had a mix purple queen with dispars. You can get them at Petco.
Ive got them eating frozen brine so far and nibble on flakes here or there. I got a frozen variety pack from petco and the they seem to eat also. I mix up a couple cubes so I’m not sure what exactly they’re eating outta this pack but they do eat it..

My Calanus pack actually says reef plankton on the package. Ingredients says Calanus. If that variety pack has red cubes, thats probably it. Probably healthier than brine too.
Correct it’s red and super fine! I know they do eat that but my fish have a hard time cause its so tiny lol.. so I mix it with brine, mysis or algae blend.

Top downs are so much nicer! Short cake and the HAPPY ACRO! This happy acro is a weed and I love it! 7 weeks growth is insane! Last picture is when I got it. These photos are full spectrum under 14k metal halides.. under blue leds the happy acro turns orange.
