I added a hippo tang few days ago and he and the lemonpeel angel seem to have developed a friendship. They swim around together almost all the time and yesterday i watched the hippo lay sideways for the angel and happily let him nip at him a few times. I know they chase the 3 cleaner shrimps...

Heres a story for ya. Years ago when pager alarms were all the rage ,a friend of the family (who was a nypd officer) had one installed on his new pathfinder after they stole the 1st truck within 2 weeks of owning it. So one night the pager starts beeping and he goes outside and sneaks up on a...

My bta doesnt bother my cleaner shrimp, not sure if having a porcelan crab hosting him helps any . Now my arrow crab is another story , just look at my avatar.

LOL, that shrimp was a cool dude who had the balls to try and clean the blue devil. I had a feeling that crab was going for my coral shrimp next so i yanked him .

Sweet , im just happy hes not dying. He nestled himself in between some rocks so ill try to take some pics when he climbs out a bit.

Just incase you were wondering how they get along.

Nope , just growing out of its side and they go in and out. Looks like a bullet hole in its side.

Can someone tell me whats going on here and if hes splitting? Almost looks like its giving birth through its side

If everything i read about lighting is true then can someone explain this ? I bought this piece of dead coral from the lfs and this growth is within the last month. All i have is a 48" coralife lunar aqualight thats running the Actinic from 12pm -10pm in conjunction with the 10k's from 2pm-8pm...

Does everyone set the light cycles to match the natural habitats? I see a ton of info on the importance of adaquate lighting but nothing on light cycle schedules. Unfortunatley i get cluster headaches(aka suicide headaches) and after experiencing that pain i was concerned about the well being of...

Did a water test today and all was good , actually they tested it twice cause the ph was 8.2 and they said that abnormally high for a month old tank, but very good for it, so we put a Valentini Puffer in a bag and i was on my way. The puffer was THE fish i had in mind when i said ok to salt...

Thanks for the info and the welcome . So the other day i bring the water in for testing to make sure im 100% correct and the next thing i know is later that night were putting in some new stuff. Ive now officially entered the " Holy Sh.t " reaction stage of this tank with a clown and 2...

So it started with a 2 gal and 2 goldfish and my 7mo daughter showing alot of interest in those 2 little fish. Knowing that this pea sized tank doesnt stand a chance next to Dora the Explorer on a 42" plasma i figured i better even the odds a bit. One week searching on craigslist and i scored a...
