I understand, it just seemed like such a no brainer, common sense question. To tell you the truth, these scallops ARE easy to keep, IF you follow everything instructed. To me, there are not many saltwater animals that I would consider "Difficult" or "Expert Only." I keep many, many animals that...

I am aware that he didn't add it but he said he had live rock for a long time not over a year. Anways it takes months for scallops to starve to death, so what if it's a week old post, the person who posted it will still see what I wrote.

"If, however, you are not feeding mixed phytoplankton and zooplankton of the appropriate size on a regular (and by this I really mean at least daily) basis, adding a flame scallop to your aquarium is quite simply a death sentence for the animal, because it is going to starve to death. If that...

Maybe you should play around with the air valve. I have a Seaclone protein skimmer, I've heard bad things about it but I've found that once you get the air valve at the right point it works great.

I'll try :yes:

I know but, with a feather duster? Thats kinda freaky!

My snowflake eel is between 8 and 10 inches. It doesn't bother any fish, it does pick at my blue leg hermits occasionaly. It's not as agressive fish as you may think, I feed mine whole silversides. I put a giant empty Konk shell in my tank that is the perfect house for him. I have the open part...

Oh yea, and I'd also reccomend using a Calcium supplement to help them grow their shells, this will also benefit snails and giant clams in your tank.

I just bought 2 flame scallops from saltwaterfish.com. I think there doing good, it's hard to tell, they were disturbing my anenomes at first with all there movement, but they seem to have settled down now. I'm feeding them individually using a pipette/straw to feed them Selcon and also am...

I think my 4" gold stripe maroon clownfish is a bit confused. I have a long tentacle anemone and a pink tip haitan anemone in a 50 gallon tank. It's a reef tank with all the odds and ends, hermit crabs, snails, feather dusters, scallops. But my maroon seems to be switching from anemones, one...

I just bought a maroon clownfish and he's hosting the long tentacle anemone, but the tomato clown was in the tank before him and wanted nothing to do with it.

Does it take a while for clownfish to distinguish itself as an anemones host? I've had a long tentacle anemone and a tomato clown for a couple days now and it seems like the clown hasn't even looked at the anemone yet. Does it take a while? Thanks

Hi, I've noticed lately that my African Red Knob star as begun to grow rusty colored spots on him... Does anybody know what this means?

You don't need to spend money on crabs. I'm not sure where you live, but i live in New England, and around here, if you go to the beach late at night when it's low tide, you can catch hundreds of crabs, there everywhere. I was just at the beach last saturday and caught about 100 crabs in about...

uhhh... why would they be against the law? and btw. jellyfish and squid arn't against the law either.

Oh I did get her, about a month ago, right now she's just in a 20 gallon tank, I'm hoping to upgrade her to a bigger tank in the future (If she's still alive, im not sure how old she is)

Mines just a 20 gallon, surprisingly enough, they do very well even in such a small space! My next 50-60 gallon tank ill put her in (If she's still alive, im not sure how old she is)

I keep mine at 77F
