Subspecies generally will not school together.

Most of those symptoms sound like secondary bacterial infection from the severe case of velvet.

It's white and about the size table salt or sugar except it's round. This is a real bad case.

Your tropical fish are from the tropics. They receive 12 hours of sunlight all year in nature. Every book on aquariums will tell you the same thing; 12 hours on, 12 hours off. If you have a lit refugium, the light cycle should be the opposite of the tanks. If you have an algae problem you need...

I had a Volitan (my avatar is his baby picture from his first show) that was 15" and a 3" Huma. One day the Huma bit his throat and killed him instantly.

I disagree with 4 damsels, always get schooling fish in odd numbers. This is the mistake (that and only having 1) that makes people think they are aggressive. I started a post on easy fishes. For some reason they made the post on what not to get a sticky topic, but not the one on what to get...

Idols are neither reef safe, nor tank raised.

I have an extremely high tech one. A bucket, a hose, and a toy snorkel from the dollar store.

Many fish are injected with dye, those aren't. Painted glassfish would be one that is. It's basically a tattoo.

Heres one that was bad for the girl. I took out a very cool dancer. She was really funny, played bass in a metal band, had a masters degree in orthopedic medicine, typical dancer. We went to a big complex that had several bars, resteraunts, and a comedy club. We had some drinks and played...

I went to a concert with 2 other couples. Unknown to me, and the other women, the girl I took was having an affair with one of the other guys.

IMO, they are bullies, one of the meanest, most aggressive fish I ever had to deal with.

Well first of all IMO, the "mated pair" thing is a bit of a scam with clownfish. If you buy 2 young tank bred ones, you'll have a pair, that's all there is to it. Secondly, having them mate is one thing, raising the babies is a whole other story. you probably won't be able to in a tank with...

Standard tank wise, I'd have to say a 125 minimum, 180 and he'd get show size. No other Poma angels, put him in last. Make sure he seems curious in the store tank, looking at everything, nibbling on stuff, etc.. Indian Ocean specimens seem to fare the best.

Those are so wierd, definately add that "what the heck is that thing" factor to your tank. What a funny hobby, I'd pay huge bucks to stock my tank with beautiful fish and corals, then spend all that time looking at a slimmey fishingline thing.

Watch out for those spines! He'll probably be a lot better at catching those damsels than you, he does it for a living. Is he going into a 35 gallon? That's pretty small. Mine got 15" long with an 18" finspan at a year old. This is one of the last fish I'd want to try to move. Fish tend to flop...

This is a female. The tip of that leg is blue, on a male it's clear.

Get a book off the shelf to back up what you're saying. I always said "I'll sell them to you if you insist but I won't guarantee them.".

Miniatus are cool!

Tank bred pygmis have been commercially available for some time.
