WOW! Seriously? I thought they are nice peaceful fish. These fish are 3/4 inch long. All I ultimately want is two little clowns. This fish was recommended in the store, in my research AND on this forum to start with. I also heard that I must introduce two clowns at the same time because of...

1 hour - 20 mins for temp, then add water - little by little every 10 mins...

I am so confused as to why my fish keeps dying. After my accident with nemos (which was caused by me) I left my 16 gal tank with perfect conditions. Confirmed by professional pet shop. I had just 1 chromis (which I had for over a month) and about ten little hermit crabs and snails. I decided...

Thank you. But they would not overtake the tank? Sorry, I just don't want to throw up in it one day I look in :-)

After my few fishes and snails died (due to my improper water change), I found these warms in the sand. Took to a professional shop and they told me that these are bristle worms (blueish/greyish color) and they are ok. I am affraid that I will have nothing but a moving mass of warms in my tank...

Katsafados, what do you mean HARMFUL to humans???????????

It's about 4-5cm long. Looks like it's velvet skin. Ok, I did all water changes, got a new clown - he's dead in few days. Also another snail is dead - saw crab all over it. Previous clown and chromis are alive and kicking. Water is good - everything is good, all parameters. I am...

Seriously? Worms are a natural thing in saltwater aquariums??? I have never seen this as I was doing research!

water seems fine except salinity is on the lower side - adding more salt water today but these warms are freaking me out!!!! do they die or multiply???

hi guys, i am soo puzzled last night i moved one of my snails as i thought he's sitting in same place for like a day and i saw small worms come out and dig themselves in gravel. this morning i wake up to a dead clown on the bottom - other clown and chromis look ok coincidence? i am going to the...

thank you!!! that's what i've been doing and thought maybe i should do two at the same time anyways, thank u for ALL help have good holidays

Btw, is it ok that I am getting brown spots all over the corals, rocks, etc? It looks "dirty" but I assume it looks more real this way as something growing on it? Getting CUC today (thanks for a new word :-). Also, gonna do 2.5 gal water change (for my 16 gal) tank. Will change two filter...

I had a beutiful white persian for 7 years but my allergies got so bad that i couldn't breathe anymore. That's why I got into fish :-( But I do love my clowns........although haven't tried to pet them :-)

No big deal about the color. When can I get a clean up crew? Added my clowns last Friday and all seems normal. Someone said I could buy it together with clowns, another said I should wait for 3 weeks.....

Thanks to everyone on this forum that helped me with this long process. Now I have two very happy clowns schooling around with two chromis - soo cute. I had no idea they would be all over the place together. Two quick questions I have: 1) I bought mysis shrimp cubes and have all this...

Duhhhh, CUC - should've known, sorry I am looking at just snails and few little crabs for clean up Btw, overnight the bacteria spiked just by looking at the tank - all my white corals are covered by brown bacteria now. I guess it's a good thing? Thanks

hi, what's CUC? thank you should i get the snails/crabs soon? thank you

Can u pls advise...............I got 2 chromis 2 weeks ago as starter fish. Today I got 2 small Ocelaris clowns. All look happy. When can I get the snails and crabs to keep my corals and glass clean? Got response from stores from NOW to 6 weeks from now - pleaaaaaaase tell me who is right?

I, like everyone, got ALL my good info here! All came from very good knowledgeable and passionate people. However, I have also seen newbies getting ripped into shreds by posting a question a wrong way. I did admit that I am learning the lingo (HERE). When I ask the question, I don't want to be...

Thanks Scott, I wish I came accross your comment before. Do you think it's ok to have 2 chromis and 2 clowns in a 16? I am reading other people's posts here and other forums and some have much more in even smaller tanks that grows fine. Just making sure.... thanks
