He's a ways from home. I'm pretty sure all you need is a sport fishing license.

Yellow Tangs are far from bullet proof. In fact, a larger number of them die in aquariums than practically any other fish.

Who here has the most mature tank? I'd like to see some pics of tanks that have been up for years. Does your Sally Lightfoot Crab need orthopedic shoes? Has your Sebae Carpet Anemone grown to be the biggest rug in your house? Are your power heads that bump in the coraline in the back? Let's...

The trigger will probably eat it within a few minutes anyway.

Damsels are schooling fish, if you keep them in odd numbers of at least 3 you'll seldom have any problems with them.

If you keep one of those silica gel things in it, it should be good for a year.

OMG, I saw that one. What were they thinking, that's more like a SNL sketch than a commercial.

BTW, I think we've all at one time or another bought something when we weren't sure what it was. I bought Pilot Fish once that they said were damsels. As Jessica Simpson says "I don't know what that is, but I want it".

Hey, he wasn't lying or anything. How could you pass up "tank bred" anemones!? Guys that don't know what they have are my favorite. Once I bought a Ranfordi Butterfly out of an lfs's assorted butterfly tank for $9.99!!!

Guys, don't forget, if you mix 2 different sands together they should be the same size grains, if not the finer sand will sift down to the bottom. When you mix live and not live do you; a) put the regular in first and the live on top of it, b) put the live under the regular, or, c) mix the 2...

Mine was about the size of an adult tarantula.

Garden hoses are treated with many chemicals, including antibacterials, and should never be used for an aquarium. Yes, aquarium gravel cleaners don't suck up the gravel.

My daughter hates the Charmin one where the bear cub looks a little too happy about how nice the toilet paper feels. I hate the ones that feature the misadventures of green globs of phlem living somebody's lung. The only thing worse than the original head-on commercial is the head-on commercial...

I have always qt'd new stuff, even when I was a little kid with a 10 gallon fw tank.

They are in the dreaded gorilla crab family. They can, and will, kill healthy fish. They are capable of catching the fastest fish in your tank.

Limiting the number of feedings per day is not the proper way to control nitrates. It is much less relevant than the amount given per feeding. You should feed no more than your livestock can completely consume in under 3 minutes.
