I am really really considering getting a Blue Hippo Tang. I have a 120 gallon aquarium (4'). I am getting a 6' 180 gallon by the end of the year. I really love the blue tang. I know one of my local fish store sells captive bred blues and they are much more expensive but they always seem to look...

Here are some pics of my fish! It's been a while since I posted here everything is going well!

I remember the fish had really bad pop eye like that and spots just like that. I was cleaning the tank today and I noticed my bursa trigger and snowflake eel look good. How can I wipe the tank off the parasites but keep the fish in the tank?

Yes. All the signs pointed to velvet. quick death.It takes weeks for ich to kill. I can tell it wasn't ich look like sugar granules and the fish would breathe hard one night and be dead come morning.

Velvet has killed nearly everyone of my fish and now I have to restart. I lost all of my favorite fish which included a blue hippo tang, a blue throat trigger,a bursa trigger, a one spot foxface, and my gold stripe maroon and yellow belly dogfaced puffer. I have to start all over, what is some...

Ok. I think I will try him out and handfeed if I have too. That's good to know.... it's funny I am actually going to be ordering from Live Aquaria.... good to know. It was either a saddleback or a yellow longnose. I think I want the saddleback now.

Could I keep a niger trigger in a 120 with a few tangs and a maroon clownfish?

My friend wants to give me a 2-3'' yellow tang because it is being bullied by his naso tang in his 75. I am in the middle of setting up my 120 but it won't be fully cycled until middle to late January. If I grab this yellow tang, will he be ok with 2 black and white clowns, a diamond goby, and a...

Thankful to be partnered up with CaribSea, I promote them on my podcast show and I get some awesome goodies. Today they sent me way over 75 lbs of life rock between regular branch and shelf rock and some cool reef chemicals as well as other goodies. So now all I need for my 120 is the live sand...
