I am not sure what flukes is. I only noticed he was breathing really heavy and I saw what looked like ich on his body, He was also trying it looked like to scratch is gills on the substrate. If you could tell me what flukes is and how I treat it I would appreciate it. He is also not eating...

Well I believe I have found out why my coral banded shark is not eating, I think he* she has ich. Besides quarintine is there anything special about treating a shark for ich? Please let me know, THANKS!

I have a coral banded shark just about a month old that I hatched and he just doesnt seem to eat enough. I give him krill because thats just about all he will eat and he barely touches that. I give him small pieces and hand feed him and he will gnaw on it a little bit then drop the food. After...

Check out my shark egg online. It should be hatching soon, so I though I would put the show online so I could check on it from my work. http://24.181.22.4

Well today I picked up some meds at the lfs and got home to the clown swimming more and he finally ate some food tonight so I think I will postpone the medication until tomorrow to see how he looks. He looked alot better today. Hopefully he will be even better tomorrow. Thanks for the help...

A exert from the disease and treatment page on this site: Chilondella Another parasitic disease. SYMPTOMS: Mucus discharge that sticks and hangs from body of fish. Difficulty breathing as if trying to catch breath. Lack of interest in food. Fish doesn’t want to move. CURES: The same as ICK and...

I believe my percula clown might have chilondella according to the symptoms page on this site. My readings are 0 am, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates, 1.021 sal, temp 76-78 ph 8.2. It is a 55 gal with a 400 Skilter on it. He doesnt look sick other than he will not eat or swim around and he has the mucus...

I just built a canopy for my 55 and bought 2 shoplite light strips from home depot 48 inch long. They hold 2 40watt bulbs a piece which puts me at 160 watts, do you think this will be enough light for some coral. I run 2 daylight and 2 actinic blues in there. I hope so, the tank looks...

After working all evening I have setup the used 55 I just happened to buy the other day. So it looks like I will be in the clear. Emptied the 29 and taking it back to the lfs tomorrow, probably upgrading it to a 75. So all doesnt seem lost after all. I am using most of the water from the 29...

Thanks for the help guys. Guess I will spring for the aquarium pump after all. Now to just take care of this pesky leaking problem on my 29. ---ROSS

Its supported fine. It is a Ocean View Aquarium. I am going to see what the lfs will do about this today. ---ROSS

Well I have had my 29 gal tank setup for just under a month and now I have discovered 2 leaks. The tank was brand new, this really bites. Guess I will have to setup that 55 alot sooner. Will see tomorrow what the lfs has to say about this..... ---ROSS

How does this sound for a 55 I am in the process of setting up. A niger trigger, Clown trigger, Humu Humu or Picasso, Dwarf Lionfish, and a Powder Brown Tang. Too Much you think? I already have the Niger and I know I will definitely get a Clown trigger (they sell small ones for 19.99 at...
