    fish stores in denver, co

    Then I'll make the fourth. Fish Etc. is extremly reliable for a relatively new business (about 1 yr old). They take great care of their customers and the livestock. They QT all live stock and make sure they will eat before selling anything. The owner is very knowledgable and can do custom...

    Diatom problem in new tank

    Is it thrusting like it's grazing on the rock or like it's scratching against the rock? I've read that fish will appear to "scratch" against stuff if they are sick/infected (ich, fungus, etc.) I'm no expert and could be wrong but keep an eye on your fish, look for signs of stress or ich, and be...

    cloudy after water change

    Salt was mixed. Salinity was a bit different: was approx 1.022sg and water going in at approx 1.023sg. SG now sitting between 1.023-1.024. Any thoughts?

    cloudy after water change

    I just did a 15% water change on my tank (65 FOWLR&LS). Approx 2 hrs later, water is still cloudy. Fish look fine and water parameters are good: ph 8.2; amm 0; nitrite 0; nitrates 20. Is this normal? Should I be worried Or I am just over-reacting? Thanks.

    How much more aggressive can a fish get?

    Has anyone been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and seen the juv. White Shark? I was out there a few months ago and got to see it. And it was sooo cool. It looked so tough and gnarly! I figure most of us would not live to tell of a face-to-face with a great white. So, if you get a chance, you...

    barracudas

    WOW! I thought my LFS was extraordinary for carrying barracuda. They have 2 and both are about 3''. Super sweet fish and would love to own one. I also watched them eat. It's like they have radar and the damsels had honing beacons! Nature is AWESOME!

    CC star and Lionfish

    I understand your dilemma. I just added a new lionfish to my tank that has a CC star and a scorpionfish. I haven't had to feed anything yet and of course they all like the same things. CC star usually comes to the water line when it's hungry but the scorpion hides in cave. I'm thinking if you...

    Most expensive death?

    I treid to get my wife to support my habit, so I let her pick out a fish. $10 Jewel damsel that lasted a week before a random $3 damsel nipped it's left fin and tail off. Poor thing could only turn right!

    New Lionfish

    Lionfish will eat just about anything they can fit in their mouth. My radiata stalks my blenny... YUM! Don't feed it for a couple days then offer it some silversides or krill. You can also try to soak the meal in a touch of garlic extract. They seem to like it. Use tongs or chopsticks to present...

    Ammonia question

    What would you suggest as a better test kit? I have trouble with all of the colors and usually take a sample to LFS.

    Ammonia question

    Okay...I guess I messed this one up. I have approx 40lbs of LR and 2.5-3" of LS. My first instinct was to try detoxing. (LFS recommended Prime and that's what I've been using. Prime vs. Amquel?) Second test (completed about an hour after first) read 0. I had wife check colors to be sure...

    Ammonia question

    Hi. I started moving my fish from an established 29g into a newly cycled 65g. I moved 2 damsels, 1 Coral Beauty, and 1 Rogue Scorpion over a 4 day period. I checked my levels today and noticed my ammonia has slightly risen...not quite .25 but not quite 0 according to the card in my test kit. Is...
