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.

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 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...

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...

I have a 6 inch V. lion (named Wayne) who appears to have a collapsed upper jaw. The pictures show the upper jaw resting on the lower, but the upper appears to not be attached to the head normally. Note the white area above the upper law and below the eyes. It appears to be connective tissue...

Has anyone had or have any experience with keeping a flying gunard (Dactylopterus volitans)? They are on sale here at SWF.com and look like a very interesting fish. I still have a 150 gallon extra high with 2 V. lions and am looking for that elusive final piece, then I saw these. Any opinions?

It finally happened!! The 7 inch lion finally caught the speedy little yellow tailed blue damsel today. They lived what seemed to be a happy co-existence now for 6 months, but today I noticed a bulge in Lola's belly and the damsel nowhere in sight. Lola ain't talkin' and the 3 inch lion...

I've got a few, maybe 10, aptasia anenomes in my 150 aggressive. It houses 2 Volitans. I would like to get rid of the anenomes without chemicals if possible. Don't think peppermint shrimp would work. Of course, the lions are begging me to put some in!! Any critters out there that the lions...

Meet Wayne!! (as in Newton). He lives with Lola in a 150 gallon extra high. He's about 3 inches and doing great. Still only eating ghost shrimp, so far!.

I need advise on a skimmer for a 150 extra high FOWLR that houses 2 volitan lions and a banana wrasse. I'm running 2 Fluval 404 canisters along with 3 powersweeps for a total filtration of 1100 gph. What is the best skimmer in your guy's opinions to run. Mind you, I don't have a sump to put...

OK, I keep trying to think of things to put in my new 150, but always return to my original idea of simply stocking the tank with 2 big Volitan lions and one other fish. I already have 1 V. lion in there now. It may sound boring, but I think it will be a pretty cool tank. My wife REALLY wants...

I know that green wolf eel aren't actually eels at all, rather members of the pseudochromis family. My questions are, do they jump out of tanks like eels do and what experiences do others have with them?

Has anyone ever put a starfish in with lionfish, groupers, and wrasse? Currently, I just have a V. lion in a 150 and my wife thought a Blue linkia or a burgandy sea star would make a nice addition. I like to call my tank an "aggressive reef" because it does have some colt coral and yellow...

Just finished setting up my new 150 extra high today. Everyone made but the bicolored pseudo, which Lola ate!!!:D Never did like that fish. Just need to get some backing so I don't have to look at the brick wall through the tank. What do you guys think?

I will be setting up my 150 aggressve on Thursday!!!!:jumping: My wife will be happy, since I've been making saltwater in all of our rubbermaid containers to prepare for the move. Lola, my V. lion, will be soooo happy!! So far, she'll be the only inhabitant, along with a couple of damsels...

I found this post from another site and I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Whenever, I make a bonehead decision regarding my fish, I'll just think of this guy and feel all better:D And yes, this was a real post, not a troll. "Little Tank of Horror (sharks?!?) What's up guys, I have...
