ummmm, just to clarify, the hermits killed the linckia, not the eel

I have a green wolf eel, and he has never bothered my clean up crew: snails, hermits, and an orange linckia (the hermits eventually killed him, though ) Don't know about the moray types, though...

I hadn't before, but started to recently. The reason I didn't in the past was because I had a pretty well-balanced ecosystem with an efficient clean up crew, and like someone already pointed out: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Then I went and "fixed" it good. I added a clown trigger to the...

I have a green wolf eel, and agree, they are WAY COOL! Fenrir is entertaining, cool looking, and even pretty "friendly." I do have to watch for flying teeth at feeding time - the little bugger is FAST when he strikes! I have him in a tank with a red vol lion (Sushi), clown trigger (Gacy)...

Hey, some guys are into pain... I have heard of this in amphibians, but this is really cool stuff. Of course, unless the mother is a true hermaphrodite, or a --- changer (some frog species have been known to do this), the offspring would have to be female (genetically speaking).

Thanks all for the replies. I bought a couple of large Mexican Turbos; Gacy is still a juvi, and these puppies are pretty big (about 1.5 inches across), so maybe my banda des vatos are hardy enough to survive Gacy's onslaught for a little while So far, they're doing well. It's been a week...

Please do. I'm considering adding a B&W to my clown tank (1 perc). Any idea if they have issues with traditional percs? TIA

Lions can be tricky. If you're paying attention, you shouldn't get sting, but there's always that one split second where you looked away, and TAG! If you do get a lion and if you accidentally get stung, just remember this first aid tip: 1) A lionfish's sting burns like Hell. Like a beesting...

yep. between him chewing on me and the lion's spines, it is becomng a real test of my dexterity turns out, I'm not allergic to neurovenom!

Yeah, I have no problem with cleaning the tank, and do regularly. I just liked the self-healing system I had before Gacy moved into town. I guess I named him aptly - he's a freaking serial killer Thanks for all the responses! I'll try a few heavier snails or maybe an abalone or two and see...

Can someone help give me some advice on a celanup crew that will survive my clown trigger? I had a Red Vol. Lion, Wolf Eel, Panther Grouper with a cleanup crew consisting of a variety of filter feeders, snails and hermits. All lived in a happy little ecosystem. After adding Gacy, my new Clown...

Hello forum. I am starting a 10G nano. I already have a hyper-aggressive tank, so this tank should be a peaceful reef setting; the Yin to my Yang. Anyway, I am asking for recommendations/ideas for what fish to use. I want something small (obviously) but striking and pretty. I would probably...

Mine likes to come out at "night" and swim figure 8s in the middle of the aquarium, but all the lights in the room except the moon lights have to be off. It's almost as if the little bugger is taunting me Oh well, one more reason to love him!

I had the exact same experience with my green wolf eel. The day I bought him, I went out of my way to cut custom plexi shields for all the holes in my tank and velcroed them into place (my roommate had a SFE before and he always managed to find a way out). I had him about a week and he...

I have a Red Vol, Green Wolf Eel, Panther Grouper, and Clown Trigger. I started with the Red Vol, and he was stubborn as heck about eating. The LFS only fed him guppies, so he wanted live feeders. I knew this wasn't great for him, so I was determined to feed him frozen krill and silversides...
