Hi Scott,


Which phase you not heard of ?

[Reefland]

"go stripey"

[Papa Doug]

Could be HLLE, lateral line disease. Powder Blues need superb water conditions, lots of current and lots of oxygen. They also need room to swim and no stress.

A proper diet, rich in algae/seaweed type foods, {clip seaweed}, foods like spirolina algae flakes and some meaty foods like frozen mysis shrimp.
