Amazing. Chris

How much?:D

I used Cup-R-Safe and carbon to remove copper from my 75 gallon F.O. Tank. I bought three blue legged hermit crabs and all three seem to be doing fine. The crushed coral substrate will be replaced with new c.c. later this week. If these crabs live two or three weeks without problems, is it...

Thanks guys! Chris

FWIW you doo seem to have a darn good grasp on fish husbandry, Chandler. No offense taken at your humor, either Chris:joy:

Originally posted by mary Can someone answer me as to why fish such as batfish would even be availlable to the hobbiest? I can undserstand perhaps maybe a huge public aquarium, where it would have hundreds of gallons to live in but a home aquarium? Maybe some folks are wealthy enough and...

Lfs told me that a steady diet of bloodworms and brine was bad for my fish, so they suggested I try Formula one Marine. My two damsels eat the stuff but my banghi won't touch it. My Banghi is fat and happy, so I'm not worried about him starving, but need to know how to keep him fed. Planning...

Originally posted by Shels Did anyone mention the Bat Fish? :notsure: Orbiculate Batfish are faily easy to keep if you have a large aquarium. Chris:thinking:

:eek: I'm only a newbie, but I'd skip on the Mandrin for now. I'm VERY picky on what I allow in my tank and usually try to wait for exceptional examples of whatever I want to buy to show up at my LFS. Chris

I've got a free ten gallon tank with stand, lights, filters, etc. coming my way. If all I'm going to keep for awhile is small fish, will a ten work as a q.t.? Chris:joy:

Thanks, I think she's decided on a flame Cardinal. Chris:D

When I get the cash a good sized wet dry is next on my list. Chris:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

My eight year old daughter Joanna wants a fish that's pink. We have a 75 gallon community tank. Right now I have a Bangghi Cardinal (sp?) and two small damsels. Any ideas on a Pink or pinkish community fish that's newbie safe? I know some rabbitfish are pinkish... Chris:notsure:

I'm a newbie to salt water fish keeping, so pardon my two cents. If your really set on a trigger I'd do a trigger and maybe one other fish. 80 gallons just isn't that big of a tank when you consider the bioload and territory needs of large, aggressive fish. Chris:thinking:

Actually, I've had two yellow tailed damsels and they were more shy than my Banggi Cardinal. Go figure. Are you sure you want a 29? You could buy a 45 or a 58 for not a whole lot more, esp. if you buy used. Chris:thinking:

Used is the way to go. I bought my complete 75 gallon set up from a friend of my wifes for $150.00. Also, I've got a line on a possible 55 gallon set up for next to nothing for the kids. Chris:happyfish

Thanks Chandler! Chris:D

Are Tangs too hard for a newbie to Keep? Tank Parameters-aero amonia, zero nitirite, nearly zero nitrate. Do I need to know anything special other than feeding them lots of greenstuff? Chris:thinking:

No. But if they try you can sell it on video. Chris
