Where in Texas are you? Would like to get an estimate of the shipping costs. Sweetwater, Tx here.

I have a puffer and a toby in a 90gal with a bahama star. While they're not the prettiest star in the world, it's still alive and adds something different to what was a FOWLR tank.

I'd put my money on the PBT. They're territorial as hell and so are the maroons. The maroon has been in there longer, and is most likely starting the scuffles, but the PBT is finishing them.

you can also *usually* buy some snail shells from your LFS. They have a lot of die off because typically they just toss the snails in thier tanks. Mine sells them 20 for a dollar. You want to boil them before putting them in, to ensure that whatever was in it before is completely gone. And, in...

Please no tangs in a 30gal ;) Every gramma I've had has been a mean SOB that I ended up giving away. Maybe I'm just "lucky" though.

It could have just been the lionfish. If it was a Fu Manchu, it probably didn't fare well during shipping. They rarely do. I really would wait a bit on fish. I know it's not a lot of fun, but when adding new fish to a new tank, you come up with a lot of casualties. I also don't feel that...

I wouldn't call flame angels hearty...whatever fish you decide to get, make sure it's not a bottom dweller (unless it's like a mandarin or something that nothing really picks on if it can't eat it.) you've got two established pretty mean bottom dwellers already. I'd get a couple of chromis...

I dunno, my boyfriend was messing around with the rock in the 200gal and got stuck by my Volitans (8-9") and he whined a bit, but nothing happened. Course, he's also 6'5"....in terms of a child, I'd say just ensure that they do not get in the tank.

It very well could have come out of there, but it might not be a good hitch hiker. A lot of mantis shrimp will come in on live rock. You should do a search for mantis shrimp online and look at some pictures. If what you saw looks like one, you'll want to get it out and either dispose of it, send...

Well, it takes me about 20 minutes to feed them all. (and the only one I overfeed is the porker puffer) But I have three large tanks and one small one.

You might also want to start varying the food that you feed the fish. Although some fish I have (marine betta) will only eat squid. Absolutely refuses to eat anything else. The saltwater multipacks cover a pretty good base of vitamins, proteins, etc that will extend the life/coloration of your...

This is me a while back. I don't typically look like a hooker...in fact I hate makeup. I was dressed up for something.

I think it depends on what you mean by aggressive. A lot of people consider lionfish aggressive, because they usually need to be weaned from live to frozen foods. Personally, I've always found lionfish to be the exact opposite of aggressive. Unless it can fit in their mouth, they leave it alone...

I think it's a juvenile Diana's...I'm almost positive of it. How big is it?
