Hello, I bought some fish recently and was looking for more info on them than the local fish store could give me. One is a type of blennie the other a type of gobbie and the books that i've looked through only show pictures and give info on common sp. These fish were not what the store ordered...

Hello all. Had the tank up and running for three months now and everything is going along pretty well except the hair algea. what causes it? and how does one get rid of it? My hermits do not seem to help in this department. Also what would be good signs about this point for a three month old...

if they are doing this shaking thing very close to each other could be a possible mating dance. I'm NOT saying they are going to mate it just means they are trying to find out if they are compadable. They also never stop swimming and could also be just rushing in a fast current. HTH

Sorry i missed a point . You can put LR in a FO tank of coarse but LS would be cheaper. And about LR and LS being part of a filter what I ment was that LR is a big part of the biodiversity of a tank. Helps maintain inverts corals and reef fish etc. Sorry I'm still learnig too!!!! :D

Hi Tang Man. have you checked out that site at J&L? Anyhow sounds like you want to do it right which is great of coarse but you should study up on a few books about SW. It's all about what you want to keep. Some reef fish and maybe some types of agresive fish might get along at first,but your...

HI, just a thought. I'm not sure where some types of plate corals come from, but i was told from several people that the clowns will play in those as well and they are farely cheap. They also don't move around your tank . Please check this advice only cause I don't want to stear you in the wrong...

Hello all. Well for FW i'd have to say my Tangyanika cichlids are my favorite such as my Frontosa and my Compressiceps.They are beautifull and have interesting personalities.The seven stripe Frontosa is about six inches easy and pretty well runs the tank but he never bothers my shell dwellers...

Hello and welcome. If you can, buy a bigger tank. For a FO tank a 29 would not stock to many fish depending on what you want. Also most people who start in the hobby always wish they had started with a bigger tank as did I. This way maybe you could have your african cichlids as well. So I would...

Well this is touchy subject for some people, but what ever works right. If you have the money buy the higher end models. If not, Prizm or sea clone could be what your looking for. I have a sea clone and I have not had a problem with it at all. But I didn't have much of a choice as money was an...

I like my six line wrass. Nice colour and very active. Always comes to the glass to say Hi. He eats very well and doesn't bother anything. Likes darting in and out of the rock. HTH :)

Thanks all for your replies. I have fifty pounds of Fiji (smoking stuff) but i was thinking of adding 10 or 20 lbs of tonga branch just to mix it up a bit. What i would realy like to get is some of that Florida LR. Its to bad i can't get it up here in Vancouver. Again, thanks for replies. :D

Hello all, My lfs is getting in some Tonga Branch LR and this stuff sells fast. I mean gone in a couple of days! Before I buy some i was wondering if anybody had some and is it as nice as they say?Does it have lots of life, or is it mostly colour and shapes? Any help would be great ..... many...
