New Mandarin and corals
Posted on Saturday, 17 March, 2007 at 2:54 PM by miskairal
On the 16th March I drove to a tiny town called Linville where I met up with the wonderful Pete and Sue (blags) who brought some coral and a fish up from Brisbane for me. A 2 hour drive each way was worth it.
The mandarin is a spotted Mandarin same as Angelina 1 so I have named this one Angelina 2. She is much more shy than Angelina 1 but is far better in the eating department. I have seen her eat a single brine shrimp and i have seen her eat Granumarin granules although I think she spat them out again. Like the first Angelina she sleeps late and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she sleeps with one of those eye covers on as well, you know, like you used to see in the old movies. She is a lady.
Coral - I got a Symphillia, a Blastomussa Merletti and an Acanthastrea lordhowensis, all in great condition.
I also got a mixture of orange, blue, green and brown corallimorphs and 2 peppermint shrimp that I haven't seen since releasing them in the tank.
