The only time it's ok to buy from a guy who doesn't know what he's selling is when you know what you're buying.

The speed of sound through air is 344 miles/second, through glass is 1531 mile/second, and through seawater is 1531 miles/second. Most fish can detect sound from 2 miles away. Think of it this, how quiet it seems when you're underwater and how well a dog hears on land, now picture being able to...

It's not really a good idea to put your bare hand in with a poisonous wild animal.

Also known to a lot of people that have had one as "that fish that suddenly went psyco with no warning and killed everything".

Avoid condis with clowns!!!

Some triggers such as Pink Tails and Nigers are fairly reef safe. Other triggers may at least try to eat anything, including but not limited to; rocks, power heads, hydrometers, fingers, dead coral, soft coral, SPS coral, LPS coral, fake plastic coral, crushed coral gravel, a book about coral...

Don't know what happened, but yeah they grow back.

I would add the Raccoon Fly to patandlace's list and mention that this is the only one I would consider even remotely easy to keep for an experienced marine aquarist.

I agree with NEreef. Sponge is a very large percentage of their diet. What an animal prefers to eat, and should eat are 2 different things. For instance, nearly all fish love brine shrimp but very few of them can survive on it.

I lost 4 layers of skin on the inside of my arm from my wrist to my elbow from a Red Sea saddle anemone. The boss at the distributor I worked for got a 75% off deal on them if we bought all 500. They guy at the collection station said they were real big but we did not expect them to be 18" to...

I use the ones for pond pumps, there pretty cheap at a garden supply store.

I'm pretty sure that needs to be without light for 14 days or more. You could also run it slowly through a UV, or use a diatom filter for a few days.

I always had one on my QT. Like Bang said, you just need to run the water through it real slow if theres parasite involved.

They are schooling fish and may act unnaturally if not in a school. They should be kept in odd numbers of at least 3.

P.S. Bang, you should post some pics of your pair and babies here.

Keep YTB chromis are a schooling fish, keep them in odd numbers of at least 3 to avoid aggression.

Hey Bang, to continue my thoughts here in a more appropriate thread, I would have thought that the females were the ones that went black. :thinking: My theory is shot to heck :notsure: I still say try to keep about 5 or so of the red ones for a year (long enough to make sure they stay red) then...

SeaClear has good scratch removal stuff. I completely redid a tank that some moron cleaned with a razor blade :scared: It came out like new.
