rsarvis July 21, 2007 Share July 21, 2007 Thanks, John and Johnny, for getting these!! Can I pay for three of them now (by paypal), but have Johnny keep them in his quarantine system until the social? Okay guys, a few dozen freshly caught Hawaiian Heniochus diphreutes are arriving today into Blue Ribbon Koi... sizes should be mixed from smalls to mediums... Good luck!

johnnybv July 22, 2007 Share July 22, 2007 Thanks, John and Johnny, for getting these!! Can I pay for three of them now (by paypal), but have Johnny keep them in his quarantine system until the social? I have 5 Heniochus Diphreutes that will be out of quarintine Thursday, due to the high demand and short supply I can only offer them as first come first serve, I can not hold them. I do expect more to arrive in the near future, but you just never know what this business is going to bring! They are $34.95 each, 3 or more $29.95 each.

johnnybv July 22, 2007 Share July 22, 2007 (edited) So, what size tank is recommended for these guys? Here is some info I dug up Schooling Bannerfish (Heniochus diphreutes) Stats Maximum Length: 7.1 in. Care Level: Difficult Family: Chaetodontidae Reef Compatibility: Add with caution Minimum Aquarium Size: 75 gal. Range: Indo-Pacific Diet: Omnivore Water Conditions: 74-80� F; sg 1.020-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4 Notes: Provide this fish with plenty of rockwork and caves where it can take shelter. It is recommended that you add multiple specimens at the same time. The Schooling Bannerfish should not bother sessile invertebrates or soft corals. It is generally safe with most stony corals as well, but may pick at the occasional specimen. Feed a variety of carnivore and herbivore preparations including mysid shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, krill, marine fish, and marine algae.

HowardofNOVA July 23, 2007 Share July 23, 2007 Saw these guys at BRK Friday, GREAT SIZES! I had my first in a 30g tank, but as active as these fish are, would probably prefer 45g+ but less would possible cramp their style! All of mine MOSTLY spent their time OUT of the LR, prefering open water area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal July 23, 2007 Share July 23, 2007 Thanks John. I was thinking about getting a couple for a very lightly stocked 75g tank but wonder if that tank is really large enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA July 23, 2007 Share July 23, 2007 Bob For a lightly stocked 75g, 2 would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal July 23, 2007 Share July 23, 2007 Lightly stocked is an understatement: 1 Mandarin, 1 LMB, 5 chromi and a peppermint shrimp I've been waiting for a couple of unique and interesting fish that are somewhat reef safe to come along. These guys seem to fit the bill. Maybe I'll give it a go if they are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4Runner July 23, 2007 Share July 23, 2007 How many H.D do you have in stock BRK? I intend to get you your place on Thurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal July 27, 2007 Share July 27, 2007 I picked up three fine looking HD from BRK this morning and they seem to be very healthy and doing well. All three are very active and eating everything I drop into the tank including mysis, pellets and flake foods. I understand he has more coming in this week for folks that missed out on this batch!

copps July 28, 2007 Share July 28, 2007 Hey guys, these guys came in beautiful, net collected in Hawaiian waters at the perfect size, ranging from small (but not too small) to medium... straight from the collector to BRK! If you want to see what small Heniochus diphreutes look like check 'em out! These are not an easy fish to find in Hawaii, especially at this size.

jamesbuf July 30, 2007 Share July 30, 2007 I got mine. All are acclimated and eating cyclopeeze like none other. The really don't like traveling far from each other and are staying in a very tight school right now. Hopefully they'll stay like this. You da man Johhny. Byron's kinda cool to, I guess.

Grav July 30, 2007 Share July 30, 2007 I got 3, they are looking nice already eating in my QT system. Howard, how agressive a fish would you keep them with? How about MEAN Damsels and Maroon clowns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbuf July 30, 2007 Share July 30, 2007 They're making me want to buy a few more and setup a tank just for them. I'm very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbuf August 2, 2007 Share August 2, 2007 Update on the 4 I got. All 4 are eating mysis and cyclopeeze, and starting to take down pellet food. Very active fish. I am very happy with them and even considering a couple more. Very cool fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grav August 3, 2007 Share August 3, 2007 My 3 have formed a school with my small Sailfin, I don't think any of the 4 of them know that: "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigJPDC August 11, 2007 Share August 11, 2007 went to Petco in Leesburg today, looking for a TO reservoir and, like an idiot, I went through the fish section. Yep - H. diphreutes in a tank, upside down. *sigh* Same price as BRK too. Mine is doing awesome, has formed a bond with my copperband and eats like a pig. Sorry to hear that some of these have bitten the dust in WAMAS tank crashes. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigJPDC August 20, 2007 Share August 20, 2007 just an FYI - this little guy likes to nip at my pallys - in fact none of them have eyelashes anymore, which is a drag. So far my zoas are safe. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
