    Never Never Never Do This

    Mojano anemone? I know what an aiptasia is, but what is a mojano? I have a small (~1.5in) salmon-pink anemone on the underside of a piece of my LR with clear tentacles ending in tiny opaque bubbles. I'll try to get a pic, but is this a mojano? if not, can anyone venture a guess as to what it...

    Is 10g too small?

    Lol. Yes, guys, I have two fish, a clown and a four stripe. And I've only been in SW fishkeeping for a year, but I did think that both were damsels, though I wasn't sure. Is there any kind of fish these guys wouldn't pick on? Neither seemed to bother my recently and mysteriously dead zebra...

    Is 10g too small?

    Good point.... the two do get nippy from time to time, but in a 40g tank I don't have any real problems because they've each got plenty of room and their own established territories.

    Is 10g too small?

    I'm going off to the main campus of a big university this fall, and I'm pretty sure the max tank size they allow is 10g for an on-campus apartment. My question is, would such a size be too small for a 2.5 inch false perc clown and a 2 inch four-stripe damsel? I've got a feather duster and a...

    I think I may have a problem....

    Well, I'm back in town, and sad to say that my goby died a few days ago. I just learned, since my mother didn't want to tell me while I was on vacation. She didn't feed it at all, though it might've died even if she had fed it. The others are still looking healthy, as usual, and eating like...

    I think I may have a problem....

    Sorry for the lapse in postings, I've been ill with a bad cough and fever the past few days, then very busy. I'm about to begin a week-long trip, so hopefully my mom won't kill the poor goby before I get home. Before I left temp was 79F, SG: 1.022, ammonia <.25, nitrite .25, nitrate ~60...

    I think I may have a problem....

    I have Aqueon Marine Flakes (I prefer Omega One flakes but my mother bought these), frozen baby and adult spirulina-enriched brine shrimp, squid, Marine Cuisine, and Emerald Entree; all of the frozen food is packaged by the San Francisco Bay company. I feed once a day either flakes or frozen...

    I think I may have a problem....

    The fish is fine externally... no spots, damaged fins, or off-color, and the eyes are clear and normal. It's just awfully thin, and bumps into things randomly, as if it doesn't notice anything.

    I think I may have a problem....

    Well, I did a roughly 25% water change, and my nitrites are down to zero and my nitrates about 80. I haven't tested my ammonia yet, but I will. My fear is, my mother spoke to the dealer at the shop where I buy my supplies, and he stated that my goby's condition could be caused by an...

    I think I may have a problem....

    I've got three fish, a feather duster, and a snail, all present and accounted for. My hermit crab came up missing about three weeks ago and I searched the tank thoroughly for remains, but found none. Do you think that could be the problem? I've got a lot of 'live rubble' I've had for about a...

    I think I may have a problem....

    I've got a 40g fish/live rock setup, which until recently was happily and peacefully populated by a percula clown, a four-stripe dascyllus, and a zebra goby. I'm off at college during the week and my mother keeps my tank. I had noticed previously that the zebra goby was looking thin and seemed...
