I didn't even know that you could put a salt fish in freshwater. This doesn't harm them if it is just for a short while? What is it supposed to cure?

I got my timer at Target, but I am not forsure what the price was. I works great on my tank, I didn't get anything special, just a timer.

I think that is fine, I know from experience that damsels, especially dominos can be very hard to catch, to get mine out I had to take EVERYTHING out of my tank, and it still was a little frustrating trying to catch it. The mollies could be a good idea, and probably a little less expensive. I...

Thank you very much for all the input into my post. When I went to get a cleaner shrimp, I ended up getting that crab, and I thought it was really cool at first, but when it went into hiding, I was like, okay this isn't what I want. I ended up taking it back to the store just a few days ago...

I don't know about leaving the lights on over the weekend, I would assume off, and just leave the curtains open, but timers aren't that expensive. I got mine a few weeks ago for about $10.00 I think.

Thanks for the help everyone! It was great advice.

I went to the fish store to buy a clearner shrimp, but instead I ended up getting a horseshoe crab. They employee told all kinds of things about it, but when I got on this web site, the inverts section didn't have anything about it, and said to watch out for anything that wasn't on the list...

Your fish might not be feeling well, I had a percula that stoppped eating and waas going to die, but I went to the pet store and picked up some medicine that was for all kinds of stuff, like fin rot, but it also said for lost weight and non-eating fish, so I put that in the tank and he made a...

I don't know about treating diseases with hyposalinity, when my fish get sick, i usually go to the pet store and pick up a medicine that has the systoms on the box and use that to treat my sick fish. Thats the best I can do, sorry that its not great! ~~Megan

All damsels are very territorial, and I don't think that any other them are more so than others, it just depends on how big they are. I think that if you just have hte one blue, and get two to three striped, that they will be okay. If the striped are small sized get three, if they are good...

I got some kind of damsel, the store wasn't even sure what it was (should have known right then not to get it) and when I brought it home, within about 2 days it had killed my other two fish and itself with what I think was white velvet. I checked it before I brought it home, that is why I was...

I am not quite sure what you could do, because my domino killed my yello-blue damsel, so it looks like we have the opposite problem. You might try moving some rock around to make them worried about that istead of each other, or you can try seeeing if getting a bigger sized fish might intemidate...

I'm sorry to say, but it sounds like you got too many fish too fast. You should have gotten no more than three your first trip to buy fish, then waited three months before getting any new fish, and then wait at LEAST two- three weeks before adding one more fish after the three months. You did...

I know that there has been a post about this before, but none of the replies seemed to really answer the question very much. I just started my tank over after a total wipeout, making srue that everything was in working order. I just got my new fish, but I hadn't gotten any cleaner type stuff...

Hey, welcome to the group!! Some fish will pick on your anemone, it just depends on which fish, their temperments, and size. I don't know very much about flame hawks, so i can't tell you if it would pick at your shrimp, but I think that it might alittle, but not alot, and I am not complete...

Wow, that is mazing! I would love to get my puffer to be as gentle and tame as your! How did you get it to do that, or is it just part of your puffer's personality? I had friends with a freshwater tank, and their fish could be touched and would spit water, but I had no idea how to get them to...

I should have gotten myself one of these! Too bad I didn't find this site until after my little "mishap".

Yes, but my puffer is only about 1 and a half inches long and an inch tall. They told me that it is very hard to keep a saltwater tank this small, but I got a few tips from a guy that used to work at the pet store who also had the same kind of tank. I had my other fish in that size of a tank...

Wow, thanks for the replies and welcome to the group! My puffer is brown with a lot of white spots all over. It is very interesting to watch as it is my first fish that I got that hasn't been a "beginner fish". It seems very docile, but I have only been able to observe it for a few days...

I just got a Assorted Puffer, or what I was told was a assorted Puffer, and I am needing help on how to care/raise this splendid fish! What does it like to eat, how do they usually act, how long do they live, and any other helpful info, or just info would be greatly appreicated! Thanks! ~~Megan
