Well, I have good news.  The survivor is doing very good, he's eating like crazy and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stress.  I fed him so copapods last night and this morning and he is doing really good.  When I get home from work I'm going to try and see if he will eat some frozen brine.  ]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 08:52:33 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=413067&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#413067 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412963&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412963 Author: Mark Peterson

I let Bangaii babies loose in the Refugium, where there was some good eating and also fed them BBS and Cyclops just like Dion.

Transferring babies to a new aquarium is very risky. I agree with Dion that older babies are better able to handle the change of water and environment.

There was good and bad news, I lost another one last night but the last one seems to be doing fairly well.  He has been eating a little, somehow he got out of the box last night, I'm still not sure how but he's doing ok now.  ]]> Sun, 24 Apr 2011 12:13:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412926&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412926 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412846&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412846 Author: zippeay

They were eating frozen when I bought them. I got them to each some Pods last night. Not sure why they stopped eating though.]]> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 22:03:06 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412846&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412846 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412844&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412844 Author: Dion Richins

Frozen cyclopeaze and baby brine. Depending on the size that is what they will eat. They shouldn't have been sold till they are about 4 months old and eating frozen. Most will not eat flake or pellets.

I used some stuff it sounds like bstuver used. It looks like netting but much smaller.  I had to line the box and zip tie it through the holes because they are so small they swim right through the holes but now one of them is just laying on the bottom of the box, he's still breathing but he's not moving much.  I hope its because he just tired .  The other one was acting the same way earlier but he seems to be swimming better.  I've done all I can do for now, I just hope they make it through the night.  They aren't eating either, I've been trying small bits of everything.  ]]> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 17:52:01 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412809&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412809 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412782&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412782 Author: Dion Richins

Please use the needle work plastic or the gutter plastic. (which I use) The lace will load up with waste and algae and you could have a potential over flow issue.]]> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:17:11 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412782&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412782 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412778&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412778 Author: bstuver

I have the stuff you can get at craft stores over the section of my overflow. Its for needle work and is a heavier plastic with holes and comes in lots of colors including black. I had two of my clowns take a ride down mine lol.

If they are eating a little that is a good sign. Give them a few days to settle  in and they should start eating more aggressively. ]]> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:00:11 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412774&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412774 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48445&PID=412767&title=help-my-baby-is-dieing#412767 Author: ptronsp

Oh I am so sorry~ that does suck when stuff like that happens. It makes you feel so bad. I am glad you figured out the problem and are trying to prevent the others from doing the same thing.
 Head up.. lesson learned don't beat yourself up for it. You have two other babies that are alive and well
