So it appears 3 of us are getting Red Tail Tamarin Wrasses next week.

@eraser2001 @ITreefer

So I thought why not start a thread tracking our progress!

What is everyone going to do to try to get them to eat?

I’m trying to decide if I’m going to fire up the brine shrimp hatchery.

But probably will try a mix of pe mysis, adult brine shrimp with spirulina algae and pe calanus soaked in selcon and selco boost first.

Good idea.
I was planning on feeding PE mysis and frozen brine, maybe cyclops as well. Live brine will be my contingency plan.
Lets just hope for healthy fish.

 

[eraser2001]

I think cyclops first and mysis with garlic, just a few day, after the fish will be looking for some copepods.

Is cyclops a frozen or dried food?

Its frozen, but my leopards love it. Hopefully the tamarin will too

I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to QT in copper. I was talking to @Humblefish over on his forum about it.

Last time that I bought a leopard from FJw, I used for it and worked good (cyclops)

Let us know what the expert says
I'm still planning on floating and dumping into the tank... in an acclimation box of course.
What is your plan @eraser2001 ?

Here is the thread

Red Tail Tamarine Wrasse QT

Suggested protocol for QT’ing this guy? Arriving Tuesday.

[Tenny]

Was there a group buy or something?

Should all QT at the same time imo. The difficulty of QTing one vs multiple is minor imo.

I only use CP not copper so I want to find a QTd wrasse.

 

[steveb]

Wrasses don’t do well with CP otherwise I would use it.

No we just all purchased off of LA.

LA must have quite a few. They're still in stock.

Exactly why I don't have one lol. I am looking at a bunch of the sites that QT them, and may grab one QTd and throw it in an observation tank for a few weeks when I'm finally ready.

I sometimes have to feed live brine, live blackworms or calanus to get Anampses Wrasses to eat. I would try frozen calanus first, as that is the least PITA option. It usually comes packaged with PE mysis cubes.

thanks for blessing Marsh with your presence
I'll definitely be picking up some calanus from the store, thanks for that.
I have a white worm culture, would they go after those the same way they would blackworms?

II’m going to go ahead and fire up the brine shrimp hatchery then.
