Octopi do very well even in those tiny Penn Plax boxes, it may seem cruel to keep them in a litle box, but they actually can live a great healthy life in such a small container. My high schools Marine Aquaculture and traveling sea lab raised one that did great, since its the summer now, the...

I just got my octo about a month ago, she's all alone in her tank with an exception of some sea stars and a cucumber. She's doing great so far, I made her a couple little caves out of the live rock, I love it when my friends come over and try to find her only to see them jump back when they...

What about inverts like octopi? Does it affect them?

I tried going to the FAQ on this site, but it wont let me in. Would malachite green be ok to treat the tank?

What is the best way to treat an outbreak of ick? What would be the best medication to treat it? And does ick effect inverts like starfish? :help:

Anybody know where you could buy a blue ring octopus online? And lets not get into the fact about its venom and everything I'm fully aware of all that I just wanna know where you could buy one. If anybody knows, please e-mail me at BrettMagellan@Yahoo.com Thanks

I was thinking a snowflake or Ghost Eel. I know the ghost is several inches smaller than a snowflake but I'm not sure which one I like better.

I'm not sure, but I know that Choc. Chip starfish are not reef safe. It's possible that it died and then the sea star tried to get some food out of it.

It's normal, they puff up a lot for no reason at all, I wouldn't worry about it.

Anybody know a place online where you can buy a mated pair of Maroon Clownfish? I found one website, but there not in stock. If anybody knows, send it to BrettMagellan@yahoo.com Thanks

Canister filters filter more effectively then hang on filters. I've heard very good things about the Fluval and Filstar canister filters.

Hey, I just set up a 50 gallon tank and I need some of your ideas for livestock. This is a fish only tank, I most likely will get some live rock though. I'm really not sure what I want yet, so I need some ideas. I'm thinking about a mini-agressive tank, with a mated pair of Maroon clownfish, a...

I was thinking of a mini-agressive tank. I'm hoping to get a mated pair of Maroon Clownfish because I know only one can be kept per tank. I was also thinking about a Moray Eel, I'm also interested in a dwarf Lionfish.

Triggers need something bigger then 50 gallons though.

Patnaudes in New Bedford MA has a pretty big selection of fish. Rumford Pet Center in North Providence RI has a good selection of fish, they get some weird stuff in there, its always nice going there and seeing something new.

Don't buy a tang while you have ick in the tank, that would be pretty stupid. Get rid of all the ick first, then when your sure all the ick is gone think about adding a hippo. Blue hippo tangs are extremely sensitive to ick so definetly wait.

Yea I know what fish not to buy and coral is not in the question. I know what I'm doing with fish, I just havn't decided yet which fish for this tank. I need more answers! Be more specific! Thanks

Seahorses are not easy to keep, but that shouldn't discourage you from trying to keep them. First of all, seahorses are very short lived, they only eat live foods, not even frozen. They also need excelent water conditions and filtration. They can be kept with community fish, pipefish would be...
