2nd Fishey Addition

[Tooch]

Ok, well, not really fishey... Well... Starfishey...

On Friday I went to the lfs and purchased 3 more hermits and a Pink Starfish! This little guy is non-predatory, stays very small, and is awesome! I can't remember the exact name of him, I'll have to grab it. But he's really neat.

When I put him in, I held him against the glass until he stuck. I checked later that night, and he was down in the bottom corner, then later the next day he was near the top. It's really neat actually owning a live one, after growing up my whole life thinkin how cool they are!

Also, finally got the 280 moved down to the tank room with the help of 6 or 7 friends. Man is that thing heavy! Finally time to start getting it plumbed!

Sounds great. I smell pictures coming.

[Tooch]

Haha you bet! My fiance get's that poopy face everytime we get something new, because I run and grab the camera right afterwords... "Why don't you take pictures of your family as much as your fish! Blah Blah Blah!" lol

[William]

Tell him that you take out the camera everythime you get a new man to ;-)

[Tooch]

LOL no men for me, but I'll tell her that :ezpi_wink1:

Congrats on the new Starfish!!! and i Agree on pics havent seen any in a while!

[William]

Sorry. I am always trying to turn everyone into women. Most likely because I like to surround myself with them.

With the exception of hobbs that I had a really hard time learning that she was a girl. Hence her present name.

[Tooch]

LMAO it's all good. There's nothing wrong with being surrounded with women, IMO!

i love starfish, i need one for my 55g.

about 8 years ago in my old nano i had a 6" diameter purple starfish, and to eat he would grab food and roll up his arms to eat it

[Tooch]

Now that would be something neat to see! Can they move fast when they need to? I can't imagine anything more than less than a snails pace...

[cocoa_pleco]

they can go a bit fast but not really dart

[Tooch]

What would it eat?

[cocoa_pleco]

some frozen bloodworm or frozen krill/brine shrimp, if you target feed a bit towards its mouth or arms that would work best

[Tigerbarb]

This makes me want a marine tank even more!!! Lol, I can't believe such interesting creatures can actually be kept in a home aquarium. You'd think only biologists would be able to have a reef aquarium.
Good to hear that your star is doing well! And to think that all of the marine aquariusts I know in person say they tried it and quit immediately.

I've had a little Fromia for a few months now...we all luv it! We're all surprised at how fast it gets around on those million little feet it has...:hmm3grin2orange:
