Can I put any tpe o starfish with my 2 porcupine puffers. They are the only fish in my 150 gallon tank. Or will a starfish simply become a tasty treat.

it has been eating krill, shrimp, flakes, algae strips. It has been doing great until just recently. It will approach food and attack it, but its' mouth just won't open wide enough to get anything other than small pieces of flakes.

I've had a niger trigger for about a year now, and suddenly it appears that it cannot open its' mouth to eat. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I can get it to eat flakes, very small flakes, but it cannot eat anything else. HELP!! Also, it spends most of its' time hiding in the rocks...

I have a mexican rock wrasse as the only inhabitant of a 150 gallon tank. I'm wanting to put a couple of other wrasses in the tank with it. Any ideas?

Need some advice. Neither one of my V. lions is eating. Lola (about 2 years old) hasn't eaten for a week and Wayne(1 year old) hasn't eaten for 2 weeks. Wayne had a dislocation of the jaw a couple of weeks ago. He has had this problem before. I know this occurs and usually the lion can fix...

Nedd some help. My wife and I are expecting a baby boy this June. We have the name narrowed down to two choices. Help us choose!!! Take the poll! Make your vote count. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I don't really know if the shark ate the hermits. It's just that it seems that I don't see as many hermits running around as I did a month ago. I run a 150 gallon tank with 2 Fluval 304s, 3 powersweep 228 powerheads, and a PrismPro Deluxe skimmer. Everything is working great in my own little...

I finally got the baby banded cat shark to eat today. Well, I actually saw it eat today. I think it has been eating all along, I just haven't seen it yet. Also, my population of tiny blue legged hermits has gone from about 40 to about 4!!! Lots of little, empty shells all over the tank. I...

I guess the gestation time doesn't really matter anymore...cuz we've got a bouncing new baby shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!! The shark hatched Monday night and is acclimating quite well. My research has pointed me in the direction that the shark might not eat for 2 to 4 weeks. Do you guys...

Thanks, Gas!! I was hoping one of the resident shark experts would chime in.

Take it easy!! I have 2 lions in my 150 and do not even own a protein skimmer!!! They've been in the tank for over 2 years and are big fat happy fish. Yep, you read right! Shut it down for the night and try not to freak out. If you acclimated your lion correctly, everything will be fine. I...

Good news!!! The shark hasn't hatched yet, but I saw substantial movement within the egg today. I measured the gill movements at 40 per minute. I'm not sure if that is good or not. Any advise?? Did a water change and nitrates down to 20. Not great, but I'll do another change in a couple of...

s.g.=1.025 nitrite=0 nitrate=80 (way too high) amm=0 pH=8.4 temp=78F a bit worried, have not seen movement for the last 36 hours.

I've had my shark egg for about 4 weeks and the LFS had it for about a week. It's moving just fine in the egg. The LFS told me it would hatch between 1 and 7 months!! Doesn't sound right to me. Anyone with experience in hatching eggs? Comments would be appreciated. BTW, shark will live in...

About how long does it take for a coral cat shark egg to hatch once it has been acclimated to the aquarium? Just an average, a week, a month, 6 months?

I noticed this thread on another site and thought you guys would enjoy it. I think some people really need not be part of this hobby!! My LFS takes sharks on occasion. They said they would take one from a customer if given about 1 months warning. I wasn't planning on giving it to a public...
