They can be so picky about eating, even to the point of refusing one brand of mysis, if they are used to another. Alyssia, nice to see you back! Is methelyn the same as diamox?

I like my damsels, personally. Except the yellow one..she was such a YKW I took her to my LFS and asked him to find her a good home. A bit of chase now and then is okay, but she was a slammer. And she was not a small fish, either.

Must have been a morsel he couldn't get with his lips right side up!

In my uneducated opinion, the death sentence for Saddam was the only option. For a horrifying moment, let's consider having him housed somewhere on our American soil, to live out his life. Or any other country, for that matter. Don't think for a moment that that would be the end of that...

I just looked in the fish bowl, it looks like they are open again..

Beautiful Thank you for posting!

That is awesome! What is the ledge on the left? And tell about your clowns..have they always been together in there?

I have a six year old tomato clown that does the same thing. When I think about a nice, level, pretty sand bed....without HER in it? Nah, I'll fix the sand some other year! :happyfish

Sorry to say, your flippin tank isn't cycled yet. When your ammonia is absolute 0.00, your nitrite is absolute 0.00, you should see a spike in nitrate. At that point you can do a water change, 25% or so, or a series of water changes until you read 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and when the nitrate reads...

Water flow is another good discussion. In a larger tank, like a 45 gal, water flow will still be important to the cleanliness of your tank. You have to have it. Again, contrary to popular belief, SH are strong swimmers, though not fast. They only lack the good strong tail fin for those dashing...

Be patient. Don't overstock your tank. Make sure you know that your tank size is appropriate for the ADULT size of the fish you choose.

Happy holidays Windmill, and take heart..your "non-traditional" view of this holiday is very warming. For years we tried to make the "perfect" trip to get the tree. Tree farms, trips to the mountains and cutting a poor defensless tree, EXPENSIVE tree lots...always ended badly, couldn't agree on...
