So a we noticed that our Chalk Brass has one eye quite swollen, the upper part of the eye lid is a bright silver. The eye is not cloudy and again only one eye is affected. Does anyone know why this might be and how to treat it?

Well I do have a full hood, that would be very hard for it to get out of (at least I would think), but I will look, and thanks for the response. Also for info, I've had if for a month, but last week I added a chalk brass, and a few days after that he went missing... just an observation.

So I got a new Neon Cleaner Goby a few weeks ago, but the last two days I haven't seen it at all. I'm getting really worried. Anyone have any idea what it is doing or anything?

I have had my clownfish for just over 2 months, he was my first fish. So I just noticed that for maybe an hour he has been in the sand bed in the corner of the tank. The female has been "attacking" him doesn't seem affected by it for than normal. Anyway what's wrong, I'm really worried?

I was just wondering why do Tiger Pistol Shrimps click?

I know I probably shouldn't be worried, but I am. I got my YWG along with a Pistol Shrimp 2 days ago. I have been trying to feed the YWG but, he has not been eating, instead he ignores it and the shrimp comes out of is tunnel and takes it. The YWG has not taken it once. They are acting normally...

Ok, I will kill it. But, just out of curiosity what would happen if I left it be?
