Hi, have a friend that would love to add a Blue Hippo Tang to her 100 gal tank. The stores here have just the tiny ones they bring in. I would say about 1-2" max. How long will it take for these tangs to grow to full size??

I don't do anything special for my mushrooms. Some are as big as the palm of my hand. I have 3 watts per gal of PC lighting, I don't add anything into the tank except for regular water changes, and any flake or frozen foods that fall on them they will close up and eat. Mushrooms are soooooo easy...

Thought I would bring this posting back up. Thought I would give this a try. I bought a male sailfin platinum mollie last week. After acclimitizing him for a long time I am very surprised to say that he is doing very well. Loves to nibble away at the algae in the tank, swims with the ever so...

When I feed I sometimes slow down the flow of my HOB filter it seems that these polyps close up when I do this and feed wierd but then they re-open again. I think they are a pretty hardy coral, so patience is needed and oneday they will surprise you.

I would like to add more inverts to my 10 gal tank. I currently have a Blue Coral Banded Shrimp (stenopus hispidus), rather small in size and has been in the tank for 3 years now. Certainly not your typical coral banded but they are related for sure. I have 3 snails, not crazy about crabs...

I have these corals and they can take a bit to adjust. How long have they been in your tank?? What fish are in this tank too??

Thanks for the reply. I was more curious about it than doing it. I have read about folks doing this. I know mollies do better in a bit of salt but don't know about full salt. Yes they do breed like rabbits. I use to breed guppies and babies oh my lord. In my freshwater tank I only buy males now...

Hi there, if you are deciding on a 12 gal or 24 gal go for the 24. You will be able to put a bit more in it. As for the Angelfish, I had a Coral Beauty in my 25 gal, all it did was swim back and forth and drive me nuts. I think they need a bigger tank, that would be the same for a Lemon and a...

I would like to know if it is possible to place mollies into saltwater aquariums?? If so, which ones are best for this and how do you go about acclimatizing them to the salinity of 1.025??

I feed a tiny pinch of flake in the morning as there is only the firefish and watchman goby. At supper they get some frozen food and there again I take a cube and quarter it and then cut those in half so there is not a bunch of food floating around.

Thanks for the replies. They just creep me out as there are so many of them. When I feed it is like bristleworm invasion. I know that they do good for tanks, they are just unsightly to see when they do come out. I will leave well enough alone for the time being. As for the question "Where have I...

I know that "some" of these things are fine but I have way to many of these creepy things in my tank. I want to get rid of some. My tank is a 4 year old 10 gal nano tank that has one red firefish, one yellow watchman goby, blue leg coral banded shrimp (tiny kind), 3 snails. I feed sparingly to...

What other kinds of gobies can be kept with a yellow watchman in a 10 gal tank??

Thanks for your replies. I guess I don't really have much option here. Don't get me wrong I do like clowns alot jut wanted something different. That is what I thought about the second firefish. I would never dream of an angel in a 10 gal. This place whom I deal with mostly is getting really bad...

Can you keep 2 red firefish together in a 10 gal??

Sepulatian or anyone else that would like to respond. In this tank, my LFS recommended another red firefish in this tank as she says they are schooling fish and do better in pairs. Any feedback?? She also said that a Cherub Angelfish would do well in there too, but I know for a fact that they...

What small fish could I put into my 4 yr old 10 gal tank that currently is home to a red firefish and yellow watchman goby that I hardly ever see?? Very boring tank when there is no fish to look at.

Just beautiful. That sunset you should have a post card made of that or I would do a very beautiful picture and frame that. I love photography. We go to Oahu every year, went to Hanauma Bay last year but it was so windy and the water was just churning. We seen some fish, a puffer like you seen...

It that was my tank it would have a butterfly of some sort or a yellow tang...

Maybe I will just have to bit the bullet and get another clown. They are adorable don't get me wrong. They are passive in the tank, the firefish and it did really well together swimming all the time. They are usually small here at the LFS which is good so maybe this is what I will get. Need...
