My new watermelon BTA

[drainbamage]

Just figured I'd share a few pics (well, actually wasn't going to because I felt the photo's weren't good enough, but Skinz said otherwise, not about the photo's being good, but about posting regardless of quality)
So enjoy!

thanks guys- I know the 2nd pic is really washed out- the cam phone only does so well with the blue lights, and I suppose I could post-process it, but just seems weird to process something off of a phone cam, lol

Awesome find, Brian. Feed, feed, feed! I want a clone asap.

 

[clowns101]

What are you feeding it?PM me if you want...

 

[drainbamage]

the picture is just good ol' H20 Life's Reef Caviar. Also going to be trying a few different foods like silversides, whitefish (from the asian markets), maybe some shrimps and who knows what else. For now still trying to find him an ideal spot- can't let him roam around the tank, but the mesh fish 'breeder' box wasn't very good for flow, so actually have one of my look-down boxes submerged in the tank, clipped to the side, and he's residing in there. Feel it's not very ideal though as it's very shallow, and not under the best lighting. Need to get him a custom containment cell built- just don't have the tools at my place to actually do it.

 

[CJO]

I feed mine a mixture of silversides and left over sashimi from dinner! Sashimi is actually not the best idea as you want to feed them something whole so they get the organ meat and other goodies rather than just the flesh.

I buy it from AquaSD- H20 Life is a local company in San Diego, not sure how far they've expanded nationally yet.
