To start off with, are you getting a gold barred maroon, or a regular one with the white bars? I have experience with the white bars which are notorious for being the most aggressive of the clownfish species, while the gold bar is a little more passive. They are extremely hardy fish, mine was...

how long should clownfish fight when establishing dominance? i introduced an onyx last night,but i don't know how long to let them fight. The onyx that was in the tank first, didn't seem too interested, but definately squabbling with each other.

I set mine up yesterday, and notices theres no place for me to put an other powerheads or heater( no spaces in the tank)

i have a 4x54 watt on my 55. i absolutely love it! It's just a shame that i have to sell it since i have to downsize

Well, I;m downsizing my tank, and i want to break some rocks that have coral attached to them. How do you guys do it, or any other advice? Thanks

yea, you're good. i've even seen them at the bottom in the sand. i still would try to keep it as close to the light as possibe

im just saying that a pistol would do fine in a 5 gallon, meaning it would have plenty of room in 29g biocube

depends on how many bulbs, and more importantly if it has individual reflectors. you dont want a light with reflectors that is one piece of aluminum, bent in different spots, but each light has its own piece of aluminum Anyways, now that i think about it, that should be enough either way

yea a pistol shrimp should have no problem fitting in a 5 gallon tank since they dig all day. As someone else mentioned, make sure your rocks touch the glass, and give it a nice deep sand bed. Hint: the trick i used to keep my shrimp in the front of the tank was to put more sand in the front...

yea i think im gonna go with a Nano cube, since the company is selling the 24g for $240.00 w/ free stand and $60 shipping And yes the yellow watchmen are awesome! Mine is paired up with a 3" tiger pistol

Which is better in your opinions on them, and which would you reccomend? I'm downsizing from my 55 for college. the fish i plan on keeping are: 2 Onyx Clowns, Yellow Watchman Goby, Royal Gramma, And 6 Line Wrasse. Thanks

fire shrimp are very shy creatures. It may have just found a spot where you can't see it. Have you actually taken all the rock out?

i have a yellow watchman goby and a tiger pistol shrimp. i have one of those pistols that loves to be working all day. He's grown to a nice size now, looks like 3"

i have a magazine at home that has an article about this. i'll put it in when i get home. if i remember correctly, they all nip at corals, but each one only nips at certain corals

have you tryed searching under Corallimorph(sp?) mushrooms. i got 2 from my lfs, they both seem to be be mini carpet anemones
