Never mind. It appears that this behavior is a part of the Clowns mating ritual. Sure gave me a scare until I figured out what it was!!

I think one of my Clowns is getting sick. He isnt acting normal, swimming real slow in the corner and then every once in a while looks like he is having a seizure. He quits swimming starts twitching really bad for a few seconds. Any ideas what is wrong with him? What can I do? I probably...

Could a Pygmy Angelfish be kept in a 29g Biocube with 2 clowns and a goby? If not, is there any other type of Angelfish that could be?

they are the only fish in the tank along with about 5 nassarius snails, 1 margarita snail, 1 emerald crab, 6 blue leg hermits, 2 red leg hermits. They eat like pigs, they eat everything I put in there like its going to be their last meal. They go into a feeding frenzy when I put food in, pretty...

I have 2 new Clown fish (false percs, tank raised) that I think are pretty young. They are both less than an inch long. I have had them since Saturday. Today I was watching them when the lights went out - about half hour ago. They freaked out! They swam around all over the place, real fast...

I had a rock that had quite a bit of that hair algae on it. I plopped an emerald crab in there, right on top of that rock and he ate that stuff, double fisted until it was all gone, he could not stuff it in his mouth fast enough. That crab is an eating machine and will devour any hair algae...

Just picked up 2 little clowns (tank raised false percs) yesterday. They are both probably a little less than 1 inch long. What do you all recommend for a feeding schedule? Any live food? Right now I have Prime Reef flake, Omega One freeze dried brine shrimp, and some green algae sheets (I...

Originally Posted by Leslie25 I have a 29 gallon tank and I am having major problems with the brown algea. Does anyone know if there is an "algea eater" type fish out there for my tank that will be ok with Clowns and a coral beauty?? 6 blue leg hermits crabs and kiss that stuff goodbye.

I have had 2 Blue Leg Hermits, 1 large Scarlet, and a Green Emerald all living in a 29g Biocube with no problems. Today, I added 4 more Blue Legs and the 2 that were already in there went right after them and tried to kill them!! I have to keep seperating them, the 2 want to kill and of the 4...
