    i researched them and i think i prefer the Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula). i like the thicker black lines around their white stripes. just makes them look NEATER.. it really wouldnt matter, though, if my lfs only had ocellaris clowns. i would get them, i just would RATHER have the TRUE...

    I really like the YMG. I think its funny that they stay by a pistol shrimp. If I get one, I will definitely get the pair. Would a YMG and a clown fish go together? I would like to get a cf for my daughter to call nemo :) but I really am leaning toward a goby tank I like them alot.

    Thank you all. I am a little wishy washy on the lionfish. One minute I want it the next I don't. They look really cool but Idk how I feel about having a poisonous fish with an almost 2 year oldest. She never messes with the tanks but there is always a chance she will get curious and stick her...

    questions about h20

    we bought 20 gallons of saltwater yesterday (4- 5 gallon jugs) we have about 4 gallons left and were wondering, how long does it stay good? can we keep it for a water change or should we just dump it out? also, how can we test for the salinity of our water?
