    Anyone ever keep a Flame trunkfish???? Info.?

    Hello all. I have been mulling over what I want to do as far as my next display. I have always wanted to do a "sub-tropical" display. I am thinking of something like the 150 cube and having a dedicated chiller and keep temps in the lower to mids 60"s. One fish, which I have only seen once in...

    Tank destroyed!!

    Sorry for your lose. But a note should be made that heat isn't the real killer. It's the rapid change in temp that kills. T

    Well Water?

    I have well water and it is fantastic. Very hard and the PH is about 7.9. I do use a Dechlorinator. The fish look great. If you are doing a reef or keeping inverts I would lean towards a RODI. But if you are doing a FO, let it mix and aerate for 24 hours and add a product like Prime you...

    Color Variations of Fuscus Triggers

    Anyone know the difference in color of Fuscus Triggers found in different locales. Both juvi and adult colors? Any pics and where they were collected would be great. This Fuscus is a juvi and was caught around West Africa. Thanks T

    When fish hybridize, that is breed with another species within it's own genus, the main reason is that there isn't enough viable fish within their own species to breed with. So the chances of that happening with a fish that is an aquarium release or a rogue fish is about 1,000,000,000 to one...

    Please help!!!! I don't want to mourn a lost

    There are so many things that could be going on with your butterfly. A really good start would be a picture of the fish. Also history. Is the fish eating, being bullied, disease? etc. Why did your naso die? A picture would really help. Ideally remove the fish to a seperate tank and if not...

    Which one? Definately not a French imperator as these two species don't share the same habitat. T

    Newly Adopted Wrasse.

    Hello all. A local fellow -- member is breaking down one of his smaller tanks that had only one fish in it. He was nice enough to give it to me. The only time I have taken care of Halichores Wrasses was when I ran a LFS. So I never had kept one for an extended period of time. I know some...

    Hey Regina. I think I do have some literature about color morphs in angels and Tangs. I will try and dig it out. As far as the color morphs changing when the fish are kept in captivity. Many believe it is a dietary issue. The color morph is caused by them eating very specific food items...

    The last picture of that angel will hold that color throughout it's life because it is a hybrid and not a color morph. Also to note is that not all color morph fish change back to their "normal" colors". T

    Yes Regina you are correct, many of those weird color abberants change when the fish are kept in captivity. Some pictures of fish that changed when they were kept in captivity below. T By the way these are some of my all time favorite fish. Blue Morph Potters that changes back to orange...
