After my lionfish died from an injury from chasing the damsels around and my puffer dying from unknown causes.I now only have a Humu picassio trigger and damsels in my tank.But I still plan on getting more fish for it.This is the list of fish I hope to get: 1)Volitans lionfish 2)Miniatus grouper...

Sorry for dorky somehow getting in there.The spellcheck on my computer being a pain again when typing.

I go to a beach in NY and every time at low tide.I see little hermit crabs and snails crawling around.And they look a lot like the ones I see at LFS.Maybe not as colorful,but still the same group of creature.So I was wondering if it is possible to catch a few this summer and bring them home and...

My trigger didn't die actually.But he's not eating,the same as the puffer.I did euthanize him though,but it wasn't with chemicals(the expensive/easy way).I just took a knife and put it through its skull.Not the most "peaceful" or painless death.But I didn't want to make him suffer floting on the...

Last night,my porcupine puffer died from unknown reasons.I gently held him in my hand until he finally died.There was no sign of sickness,but he wasn't eating when It came around feeding time.And even more worrying is that my trigger isn't eating either,and may have the same fate...

Since I'm going to be trading in my escape artist of a snowflake eel for being such a pain.Im considering getting a larger and different species of eel for my predatory tank.I'm caught between the tesselata eel and the yellow head eel.While yellow heads lack in beauty,they are not as aggressive...

He's about 4-5 inches and I've had him for about 2-3 weeks.And where can I get clear plastic/acrylic rods.I 'll maybe try some shrimp pieces or fish filet pieces this weekend.But otherwise,thanks for the advice.

This is going to be the final wish list for my 180 gallon predator tank: 1)Volitans lionfish 2)Miniatus grouper 3)Blueline grouper 4) Porcupine puffer 5)Dog faced puffer 6)Humu picassio trigger 7)Niger trigger 8)Yellow head/Honeycomb moray eel(either one) Inverts: 1)Black longspine urchin...

I finally have a180 gallon tank,it fine except 2 of the fish are giving me problems.My lionfish is not eating,I gave him goldfish last week and he has already eaten two of the damsels,so he's not totally starving. I've tried giving pieces or small silversides,he sometimes flares up as if he...

Is it ok if I can keep a porcupine puffer,miniatus grouper,and a lionfish in a 180 gallon tank.

I've been using your guys comments.And I came up with a better list than the ones before that weren't so good.So here is my list.I hope its good and it goes well.Please respond back and let me know what you think about my new list ! -miniatus grouper -volitans lionfish -marbled cat shark...

I was looking at coral cat sharks/marbled cat sharks.

Iwamted a flounder because I may have it my soon to be predatory saltwater aquarium.And its okay ifn they don't do much,people love stingrays and they do the same thing.And I really find them that ugly(but that's my opinion),I actually find them quite interesting and unique compared to a...

Around the web,I've heard about these two fish that barely anybody talks.The peacock flounder and the emperor snapper.Does anybody know about these two mysterious fish?And if they do,I would really like some information(ex.minimum tank size,compatibility with other fish,etc) from somebody who...

But catsharks don't need to move constantly to survive.Most of the time they are on the bottom resting or in caves searching for food.So a 180 seems fine for a non pelagic shark like a catshark.
