That is a gorgeous tank, Theresa, those lucky horses!

I feel like such a harpie, but I'm posting anyway. I have wrasses for the same reason, and they most definitely do control the bristleworms. I've heard of other effective animals, such as arrow crabs and CB shrimp, but also hear they have been known to prey on fish. What kind of wrasse did you...

I wonder :thinking: if the camoflage is intended as a defense, do our happy, secure (spoiled) aquarium SH just not do it? Maybe stress or fear (no offense intended, by any stretch!) elevates a chemical "switch" that causes the changes? Are WC more apt to do it than CB? Just thinking outloud..

I personally haven't had a seahorse change color. I know others have, I just wasn't expecting it to be so drastic! An added note is that I have only purchased black horses and they have all been older horses. A couple of people here have hoped they would see some color change. As long as this...

There are times when you just don't have the heart to talk, when things are weighing on you. I think you are all doing just what you can, and Allysia, I know you are great at checking in just to say you're there! It matters, and I'm sure Rynka appreciates it. Sometime she will answer.

I would first suggest that you consider keeping a couple of seahorses that are the same gender for a year or so before you jump into breeding them. Textbook answer is that if the seahorses breed they require a minimum of 3x their extended adult length. Depending on health, your kudas can reach a...

:cheer: Hurray! Can't wait to see!!

In puppyhood, excitement can be expressed in few ways. Biting and barking and spontaneous peeing are the worst expressions. I agree with Reno that you have to establish yourself as the alpha from the word go. In a dog pack, the submissive language is to lie down and expose the belly and throat...

Are you planning to buy a tank specifically for them? Or do you have one you wonder if it will be appropriate? By the way, soccer is the greatest game on the planet

I'm not saying that Chewy is now a dog that has to be watched every moment. "Discipline" is not a word or a deed that should really relate to an animal. "Training" on the other hand, is what your dad, or anyone around large animals should practice. What your dad did is give Chewy the first...

Originally Posted by AW2x3 Chewy grew up around kids. My parents always had my little cousins around, my nephews and neice, etc. He'd let them lay all over him...you know how kids are, pulling his ears, tormenting him, etc. He'd just lay around and take it, licking them, playing with them, etc...

Seems like a very complicated way to make a mess of the bottom of your tank. Undergravel filters were the rage back in the (80's?). I think that's what this amounts to, doesn't it? I'd go on about my business, if I were you, though you might want to either go deeper by an inch or shallower by a...

Chromis are damsel fish. In numbers of 5 or more they will tend to school. In numbers between 2 and four, they will tend to act like their clownfish cousins and become agressive. You will probably end up with just 2 chromis, I'm sorry to say.

For starters, I love your tank! I may be a bit off my rocker, but aside from the plant growth, your tank looks clean. Your puffer will outgrow that tank, so be ready to make a decision. How often and how many gallons are your water changes?

How long have you been trying to grow it? I don't think it grows very fast...but also :joy: kind of like children. One day you realize it isn't so little any more. It is very hardy, probably because of the slow growth.
