RFAs didnt make it..
I've got two foxface in my tank, don't tell me that :'( I'd toss them outside if they ate my torches.

oh i hated getting rid of mine honestly, he had been there for almost 7 months, was one of the first additions and never touched anything and out of nowhere he went rogue, i doubled on my feeding but i guess the RFAs were tastier

He hasn't shown interest in anything but the Duncan luckily. Loves bubble algae so I don't have to worry about it except in places he doesn't like. The weir of the overflow and a few others.

LOL funny to hear that, mine eats the green and brown but also LOVES the red. As in guards the feeder till he finishes it.

I roll red nori in green nori... makes the fish pick at both. I haven't seen if they have a preference as both clips get cleaned.

I got one of these too works great and super easy. You thought of gut loading and growing them out a bit? I thought about it but decided it was too much work
I have before, I used a 2 liter bottle but it was before my 3D printer. I might do it again and design a spigot and airline to make it a cleaner design.

But yes, this is an easy way of collecting them as they hatch. Scoop them out pause the pumps and add them to the tank. Done it twice today already.
