    StarFish Help

    I had one and never had a problem with it. I know it needs a lot of sand though to survive. At the time I had a 46 gallon and it starved in a few months. It was in the sand all the time and never bothered the coral. Not sure how great they work at cleaning the substrate though. Never made a...

    Got a Hippo today. Wedged under rock

    I am not home now to observe but before I left I looked at his breathing. It appeared to be okay. A little fast but not crazy. The only thing I did not like was the way he was swimming. He was trying to hide in a corner of the tank and he would swim toward it then tilt back as if he was...

    Got a Hippo today. Wedged under rock

    Its a 10 gallon tank, he is about 3-3 1/2 inches long. It does not appear to be any signs of health issues and his color is actually nice. Pinched belly I don't really see. He has some specs on his tail but I think its just sand stuck to it. Salt is at 1.025

    Got a Hippo today. Wedged under rock

    I know this is typical behavior from a hippo but how long will it do this for? I got it around 12:00 PM today, dripped it for a few hours then let it float in a bag before putting it in the QT. The QT has a piece of LR about a fist size and a handful of LS from my refuge. This Hippo has been...
