    Do Lionfish host ich or other parasites???

    I agree with what you stated. However, it appears that since I've used Prazipro, turned the UV sterilizer back on and the Lion fish has died, everything is on the mend! All I know is that this is the second lion fish that I've placed in a healthy fish tank, in which ich has occurred. I won't...

    Help with My Adult Emperor Angel

    Just thought that the "New Life Spectrum" pellets were way different. They advertise that everything that the fish need is in there. I thought I was giving them all that was needed. Guess I will now have to come up with a different plan. Candy??? Wow...Thanks!

    Food Question

    Why would you want to make your own food when you can buy "New Life Spectrum Fish foods?" Anything that could benefit your fish is in there. I have been keeping saltwater fish for more than twelve years and have not found anything better. I've tried frozen/flake/live foods and this food is...

    Tiny Hippo Tang

    I have a regal tang in my 125G tank. I've had it for maybe four months and he was also small when I bought it. However, he has grown so fast! He is practically the size of the majority of my other fish now. I introduced him to an established tank with a large blonde naso tang, emperor...

    Help,help....ich Problem, Dont Know What To Do!!!!

    Here's what you should do: buy a product called "Prazipro." You can usually find it through saltwater fish dealers, not chain stores. It works well without negatively harming fish, live rock, etc. You just have to turn off the skimmer and sterilizer for a week or so. I find it to be the...

    I need help with my Dog face puffer

    I don't know what happen to your fish, but I hate hearing that. I have had a couple dog-faced puffers and they have all done well during my keeping. I do know that they need meaty foods. In fact, that is all i fed mine. I would venture to say that when you bought him, he probably was already...

    Running copper in fish only tank

    I was always told that once you use copper, u can never remove it from the tank without extreme measures. Be cautious in using it, you won't be able to add anything other than fish, crabs, and maybe snails. I would use a product I have found much success with called "Prazipro." I have used it...
