Thank you for showing us this very colourful parrot fish.He also seems to like to sharpen his beak on the tank glass! Is the spotted drum ok?He seems very subdued.I hope he's ok. See you on the next one.Stay safe.
Thank you Barbara! Yeah he's a funny one, has been doing this since his previous owner, who already mentioned this "trait" haha! Yeah the Drum is doing absolutely fine! Probably hung over from the night before :P Cheers!
I just put this fish in my tank and I noticed that it is extremely shy, my tangs usually harass it and it spends its time in a corner without moving, it hasn't eaten anything yet.
@@ryanesposito5755 I checked all the videos from this serie and there is nothing about the filtration or sump. On the older tank he had, the redsea max, he showed something about the sump. But I'm interested on this bigger installation.
Thanks Eduardo! Yeah of course, I will cover it in one of my next videos! It's quite a big sump (about 1,50 x 70) and has Caulerpa Taxifolia macro algae, an UV-c unit and a Skimmer in the first chamber. Second chamber has another skimmer, a Phosphate reactor and the return pump. Thanks!
Hey there i want to keep this fish also got a 1000l tank with a clown triggerfish, 6 docs and a moray do you think He get in trouble with the triggerfish?
Thank you, I have been seriously considering a Quoyi Parrotfish for my 400g. I notice the lovely gonioporas you used to have are missing, did something happen to them?
Cool, that would definitely work! Yeah the goniopora have been a) 2 sold b) 2 died and c) 1 in my nano reef now. My big tank has too much nutrients for goniopora to thrive currently
@@DutchReefer it's a fish that i have loved and researched and tried to talk myself into since 10 years of starting my first reef tank. Unfortunately there are very few success stories with them, they need a lot of grazing area (mature rock) so they are in direct competition with tangs in your tank for food and they slowly starve to death after 6 months- 1year or just seem healthy and die mysteriously, for a fish that can live up to 20 years this is not good. They also can get very large and need a much larger tank than what is recommended, 250-300gal minimum. I have seen princess parrots while snorkeling which were over a foot and a half long and very thick, much larger than what their info says. I believe it's just one of those fish that require a public aquarium sized tank or specialized setup, it sucks because it is a beautiful and very smart species. I hope you have better luck than most people, beautiful fish you have there.

Hey i love the tank, i have upgraded to a 600 L so i am looking to get one, what is the black and white one that looks like an angle its gorgeous
Like my friend 😁🤗🙋♀️
How often do you do water changers and at what percent?
I just put this fish in my tank and I noticed that it is extremely shy, my tangs usually harass it and it spends its time in a corner without moving, it hasn't eaten anything yet.
Hmm that doesn't sound like their typical behavior. Do you have a lot of tangs that group together or do they harass it individually?
@@DutchReefer Today I took out and put the 2 aggressive tangs in the sump to see if the parrot improves.
Parrot fish are in the wrasse family
Great channel, congratulations,
can i ask about the filtration on the big tank ? the dimensions of the sump ? do you have a refugium ? etc
Eduardo Vejarano check out his video series. He covers off on all those questions. He does a really nice job

Mr.Cluspy is the name of your copper band butterflyfish
Haha thanks for naming him!
Hey there i want to keep this fish also got a 1000l tank with a clown triggerfish, 6 docs and a moray do you think He get in trouble with the triggerfish?
Hmm they're generally very peaceful, so I think the question is will your trigger leave it alone or hunt it down :)))
Pretty fish but it’s movement’s were strange when it saw it’s own reflection!
Haha yeah I know right?! The previous owner told me about this and he keeps doing this.

Can humphead parrotfish be kept as pet
What’s that moorish idol looking fish?
That's a Spotted Drum, Equetus Punctatus :)
very tough fish to keep long term
Hmm do you have personal experiences on this? What could be the reason for this? Slowly starving or other issues health wise?
