My maroon clown was the first fish in the tank. It took him over a month to become comfortable swimming around the tank. Even now he pretty much stays in the same area(upper right corner by power head). Now he is pretty friendly! It just takes a while I think...:happyfish

Thanks for the input. Sorry, another dumb question... What do I soak the food in? Garlic?, if so where should I get it? Pet store? homemade? Thanks again, Joe

I purchased some fish from this site a little over a week ago. I put a Flame Angel and 3 Blue-Green Chromis's in the 10 gallon QT. They all seem pretty happy. However I noticed 1 white spot above the Angels eye that is about 2 mm in diameter. I've seen ich before but I have never seen a ich...

Okay, I bleached a piece last night and it looks good. Now anyone have any ideas on how to make sure that there is no bleach on it any more?

oh yea, huh huh:D

Thanks. What do you mean Rubbermaid Tube?

I have some dead coral that was originally white that is now brown and shows no signs of getting whiter. Is there any way to get it back to the bright white it was when I purchased it? I thought I heard something about bleaching it but I was unsure if that was safe. Any help is good. Thanks...

Okay, does anyone have any advice on some simple upgrades for lighting so I can get some coral?!

Hello, I have had a tank for about 6 months now and I was thinking about adding some corals. What is a low maintenance coral that would be good to start out with. I have a 55 gallon tank with standard flourecent lighting. Right now I have: -2 camelback shrimp -2 emerald crabs -5 -10 astrea...

Last night after feeding the community I noticed a new, very small worm-like creature. He was about an inch long and was pink and black with white bristles sticking out like a caterpillar. it is very thin, maybe a mm or so. It was crawling on the sand and it looked like it picked up a flake...

Thanks for the info! I was thinking about putting him directly into the main tank after a few days because of his behavior, but I am kind of new at this. I didn't know if that would blow up in my face...like if he had ich or something. I really would like to get another blenny in the future...

I purchased a bicolor blenny a couple of weeks ago and he died a 2 weeks later. I placed him in a QT with an Angel and everything seemded to be working okay. However I noticed that the blenny did not seem to eat when I was feeding them and he would never come out of hiding. I have 3 pieces...

All this talk about poop... I think I am gonna...

Thanks. Another question: The Blenny was tring to hide under a rock. however, in the QT there is not a lot of substrate and it almost looked like he was stuck or being crushed. Should I put some sand in the QT?

Hello all, I just got a Eibli Angel and a Bicolor Blenny yesterday. They are both in the QT. I have tried to feed them flake and they are completely ignoring the food(even if it falls in front of their face). The Angel is acting normal, and the Blenny is very still. Is there a reason the...

Sounds like a lot of stuff! I have 2 blue leg hermits and 2 red leg hermits. I had about 12-13 Astrea snails and now I have 6. One of the Blue leg hermits keeps killing the snails! I would watch out for the blue legs...

This last weekend I placed my maroon clown back into the main tank after a 5 week stay at the hypo hotel! I monitored him for a week in the QT before I put him back in the main tank. Everything looked okay. It has been a couple days in the main tank and I notice one little white spot just...

A new Petland is opening on Butterfield and Naperville Rd. in Wheaton. I had a hard time finding a good LFS. I found a good Petland in Aurora over on Rt. 59 but I got tired of driving so far to get to it. The first Petland I talked about above is opening on Saturday. It turns out it is like...
