I just used the liquid stuff and left my tank running and the lights on a little longer. It also took a little longer to cycle. Another way to go about it is to use clown fish instead of damsels. They aren't as territorial, aren't as fast, or as mean, so you can leave them in or not. They...

Do you have two cleaners, or did you just get it, or are you breeding them, I think that is just the best, I want one of my fish to have babies!

My cute little clown fish that was brutually attacked, now has what my lfs says is a cyst. It is just this little bump on his side behind the first white stripe that has kinda faded color. The fs said that it would be okay and to leave it alone as long as it didn't turn into something else or...

Also alot of the time fish of the same species or ones that look like will pick at each other just because they are similar. ~~Megan

There is a blue spotted ray at the fs around here, it isn't a chain fs so the usually have fish you don't see very often. It seemed to do quite well in the display aquarium, but it was by itself for the majority of the time. What tank mates are going to be with it? It was very beautiful and...

Fish are so delicate that anything they don't like or any stress put on them can kill them quite quickly. The fish get very stressed with the lights on more than 12 hours MAX. What and how often were you feeding your fish. If all of your levels are in check, these might be why your fish...

What are the requirements of keeping a Flower Pot anemone healthy? I am wanting to get one for my f/o 25 gl tank. Thanks for the info in advance! ~~Megan

Mostly the false gramma, but sometimes the puffer. The puffer usually only bites if something is in her area, the gramma just bites anything that it feels like it should. I took him back to the lfs store and moved swapped the puffer and percula. I am hopeing that since the puffer is the most...

I think that a dwarf angel would go nicely with your tank. They are usually very friendly, and very pretty. Just make sure not to get more than one because sometimes they will fight with each other. ~~Megan

Yeah I would go with the Porcupine puffer for the aggressive tank.

I can never seem to have happiness in my f/o tank. I have a 25 gl with about 25 lb. of lr. Inhabitants: 1 spotted/sharpnosed puffer 1 False gramma 1 cleaner shrimp 1 Camel Shrimp The fish attacked my sweet clown, so I put him in the qt tank after buying the last 13 lb of lr that didn't help...

Yeah it was a domino, and I thought it was really strange, but it was almost like a slim covering, it wasn't really bright, it looked like it was painted or something. Maybe they turn brown first and fade into like yellow and purple. Let me know, please! ~~Megan

I saw a picture of an adult Domino damsel that had turned a blackish, yellowy purple, which was supposed to happen with age. Do they automatically change, or do you have to add something to the water, and about how long would it take for them to be an "adult"? I just thought that was the...

Just get a small floor fan to blow across the tank, it will cool the tank down 2-4 degrees. It works for me.

Are you using anything like coral-vital to help make sure it gets the right nutrients?

Aren't our tanks just so much fun, you never know what you are going to find or see next! I hope that it is something good instead of bad!! ~~Megan

Does it have enough, light, food (vitaims, calcium) so that it can be strong enough to support itself? How long have you had it and what are you water quality levels?

That is a very good idea, if it is easy enough to do. Otherwise it is just fine for the lights to just come on and off, as the fish get used to the light coming on and off at certain times of the day, and since they expect it, it won't surprise the fish for the light to just come on. ~~Megan

Do you breed cleaner shrimp? I don't know very much at all about cleaner shrimp, I just got a huge one at the the lfs the other day, and just feed it shrimp pellets.

A coral banded and peppermint sounds a bit risky unless you do have a large tank (around 125 gl) because corals can get a bit nasty and peppermints are a little shy. If you do decide to get the peppermint, I would get at least two. ~~Megan
