Frenchies bare bottom

[naterealbig]

Loving the tank, barebottom, and coral selection!. You got it set up pretty quickly - was the branch rock from your old system?

My favorite piece is the Christmas Tree Rock. Where did you source it?. It's a beautiful piece.

Thanks mate
The rock is all new but I had it curing in a tub for a few months and then added a bottle of bacteria to the tank when I started it up.
The Christmas tree work was sourced from a shop in Essex, England, called H2O aquatics. It is really nice. I’ve seen better ones that have yellow/orange worms on as well.

Very cool!. Thank you for sharing - I'll definitely be getting one for my system.

Thank you. Yes they’re Tukas, I have 3 of them mixed in with 4 evansi.
They’re a difficult fish to get feeding but I got them as I’m off work for a week and have the time to try and get them onto mysis.

This has been my experience with them as well. Are they currently feeding on anything? If so, what?

The Evansi is a beautiful fish as well. My favorite "easy" Anthias is dispar, and I'm planning 10-12 for the system I'm setting up now. Good luck with these, and keep us posted on progress.

They’ve been in since December 26th and all but the male Tuka are starting to take interest in tiny bits of mysis. They go made for red plankton or lobster eggs.
Will keep you posted on my progress.

Hey @frenchie01 - any updates? Are the coral colors coming in nicely? How's your male Tuka?

Sorry it’s been awhile, I’ve been really busy.
The male tuka and one female sadly didn’t make it. These are really finicky fish and hard to keep fed.
I still have one and 4 evansi.

Here’s a quick pic updated on a few of my fav lps
The gold wall hammer I won in a raffle and it only cost me £12.50

Also I’m interested to see how these 2 sps do on the back

@frenchie01, awesome update worth waiting for. Thanks for sharing.

Spot the new additions

Sadly I lost my last Tuka, they are very finicky feeders and require many feeds a day of frozen/live food.
I still have my 4 evansi and will probably add another 3.
I have also taken out my siporax and replaced it with my alr1
