    Assorted Tang turning white

    Our assorted tang is turning white. He has faded and is now getting whiter and whiter each day. He seems to be eating. It doesn't look like ich. The other fish in the tank are all fine - yellow tang, lawnmower blenny, clown, angel, christmas warrse. Anyone ever seen anything like this...

    Clowns ate my shrimp

    I had just put a peppermint shrimp in my tank and turned the lights off. I came back maybe an hour later and my 2 clown fish were eating him. UGH!!!!!!! Is the a shrimp I can put in my tank with the clowns? I didn't reliaze clowns did that. I feel so awful for that poor shrimp.

    Moving live rock to treat for ick

    I think ick may be making an apperance again in my tank. I have a 10 gal. qt tank. Could I move my live rock to that and keep the fish in my 72 gal tank and treat with hypo in my display tank? I do have live sand and a couple of crabs. Could I move the crabs too? I just hate the thought of...

    White line on Tang

    My yellow tang has a white line about 1/2 inch thick on each side of his body. It is about 1 1/2 to 2 " long. Is this Lateral Line Disease? If so is there anything I can do to help him? Thanks. Kelly
