shrimp worked for me, just keep them hungry.

I feed them once in the morning and twice at night. Generally you want all the food to be gone after two minutes. It's nice that they can expect to be fed when you walk over and this will make them more friendly toward you and each other. If they never know when their next meal is, they might...

Zoopa dapesh! (sp) your fish eat better than me! you should start a cooking show for fish foods.

Next time, watch them feed it at the store before buying. I did this and then bought the same stuff right there, frozen brine. Unless your hippo is italian, you don't need to soak your food in garlic.

I have often wondered this myself. I'm guessing they must have a better technique than just waiting around a reef and netting them. They must use some chemical to stun them. Have you ever tried netting a damsel in a <100g tank? Can you imagine trying to net one in an endless ocean? The...

Get a pair of clowns to start, a firefish and a cleaner shrimp. Royal Gramma can be mean and hide a lot. Add that one last if at all.

Try a peppermint shrimp, worked for me and I had tons. I actually wanted them because I don't have a reef and I thought they looked cool. My peppermint shrimp cleaned up three or four dozen, all sizes, in less than two weeks. Ask yourself, do I really want to be injecting hot water or "juice"...

I like when these discussions get heated, I can almost see you wackos pounding your keyboards and I get a bit nervous, like is this guy gonna go get his gun and shoot his computer cause he can't express himself? I actually got some good advice from this, cause my blue tang is happy and he never...

Holy crapoli, and I was just about to get a dimond goby to sift some sand. I guess if I don't mind my peppermint shrimp getting wacked. Maybe if I find a small one that can't eat my shrimp. Will a dimond goby get along with a yellow watchman? I have one of them and my tank is peaceful and...

Just get renters insurance to protect your 6. Sounds like a good price. Ask rental office or landlord. I had a water bed on a second floor, had to be hundreds of gallons. Buildings should be designed strong enough to withstand that much weight unless you live in Warsaw in 1895.

Good for digestion, you should add a bit to your diet.

Why not just use algae sheets? They are easier, less worry, and provide the nutrition. I can feed my cat filet mignon, caviar, or patte but he eats cat food.

Will snails eat cyno? What other species are good for eating red slime? I have about ten snails in a 55g and they either haven't found or don't like this red algae.

I feed dried krill in the morning and then thawed frozen brine after work and before bed. I go by the rule, all food is gone in under two minutes and everyone gets to eat. I can tell when they get full and have figured out pretty much how much to feed. I'm sure I could cut it back a bit but I...

Depending on the size tank and tang, and there are other variables. Read the comments on here, beware that some are fish rights activists and others are proponents of cruel and unusual punishment. Atleast you know enough to ask before doing. Some people throw a sorts of fish or whatever in a...

I have a dime size patch of this on one of my powerheads, ideal area for no flow, can I just scrap it off or will that cause it to spread?

You might have problems with all of those fish, it will be like playing gladiator, the strong ones will kill off the weaker ones and you don't get to decide. If you don't mind death and destruction, let nature figure it out. For that size tank and once it's cycled I'd keep the clown and add a...

I used tap water for same size tank, ran filter for a few weeks with chlorine remover and bacterial addative to start cycling. LR after a week or so, had some die off, damsels after three weeks, then swapped them for clowns after two weeks. Everything went fine for me. It seems a bit crazy...

You are taking a risk, the price seems good, but it might cost you later. I got mine at about 2 1/2 inches, and he was quarantined for two weeks before purchase. No signs of ick yet and he eats fine.

Wow, I didn't have time to read all the comments, but it looks like too much LR you can do some aquascaping and make some room, if you have the resources you have enough LR there to set up another small tank. You want it to look like a reef with caves, not a pile of weird rocks, no offense...
