Fish yawning is to expell salt from the gills. They all do it once in a while. If they do it more than once an hour you need to lower your salinity.

The only angel fish that have ever been bred are pygmis, and thats very difficult.

The choice between strip mined LR and cultured come down to a decision over what you're more willing to sacrafice, your specific decorating preferences, or the planet you live on.

All except for the light show.

They have never been bred in captivity. They do not live in pairs in the wild, I would not try to keep a pair in captivity. They live in small groups with a few males and several females.

Why do you think it was almost dead? I only ever fed mine every 3 days or so. A krill is a big piece of meat, are you sure he's not just full? IMO, the clown is knocking the food out because you're feeding it too much. Clowns do things to help their hosts, not hurt them.

I don't know that they actually kill as you're thinking I mean, i know they kill like dandelions kill your grass.

It's waste, most likely the Purple Up.

Sorry ophiura, I tried to be subtle but got a little frustrated.

You must get one that isn't cyanide caught. Hawaiin ones have the best chance to survive. You also need to be one of those people that keep their water consistantly perfect . If you keep them well fed they usually won't bother anything.

I like Pearly Jawfish. They are so funny the way the set up their hole with "curb appeal".

I'd but actual ocean water if I could get it here. The bacteria is easy to kill. Store it with no light for 2 weeks and all the bacteria will die.

Fish get no respect.

Where in Ohio? Theres a store in Columbia Station that has a ton of used stuff. Plenty of drilled tanks that size.

They spread like weeds and eventually kill everything else off.

Wrasses are more sensitive to chemicals than most fish. If a store has an Australian one, they will generally put it right on the sign. The same goes for any Hawaiin, tank bred or raised, or any sustainably collected livestock. Heres an Australian one and here an Indonesian one

It was either my extensive knowlege of sealife, or the fact that every one I ever saw had a sticker on it that said barnacle! Thats one of those old school decorations. We used to use them to put feather dusters in.

Fish can be sustainably collected, LR can not. I only kepp tank bred, raised, or sustainably collected livestock, including coral and LR. Think about it, you're trying to compare catching a bird to cutting down the forest. @ 1journeyman, are you suggesting that since one thing is destroying the...

IMO, they always look like they're breathing hard because of they way they seem to breathe through their mouths.

Sounds like a pressure crack, that's just a defective tank.
