These guys get really active once the moonlight LEDs are turned on so I couldn't resist taking a couple more pics smile.gif Used low flash with a 2second exposure.

Thanks all.

Nic, yep they're Volitans. Not sure on the age but they're roughly 11cm long. Have been feeding them frozen whitebait mostly. 1 of the chromis I used to cycle the tank got swallowed on the first nite too LOL smile.gif

PS: I'll be heading up to the NOR shops this Saturday if u wanted to tag along.


Cheers,

So what else do you keep in the tank with them Dazza??? Sounds like you have at least another chromis or two??? And so if you feed the two of them up with whitebait, does that keep their attention away from their tank mates???

Just the one chromis is left and a few snails to control the algae. The tank cycled a few weeks ago so I've been taking it slowly when it comes to stocking. MONSTAF1SH kindly donated a hexagon cod which I added tonite. One of the lions rushed up to him and quickly realised he aint gonna fit into his mouth LOL. I don't think any amount of whitebait will deter them from a moving target. They've got huge appetites, the type of fish that keeps eating and will probably damaged themselves if not careful :?
