    freshwater mollys in saltwater :)

    Actually converting them to saltwater generally makes thir lifespan longer, not shorter. And yes they do tend to be healthier.

    120 gallon fish

    Wow, a clarion huh?? lol I don't have a few grand to spend unfortunately. I am gonna have to stick with fish that are 150.00 and under or so. I may decide to try for two small angels and more color rather than one big one. Maybe a coral beauty and a flameback.

    120 gallon fish

    Really?? One of those angels would be okay for life?? I would have thought they would have needed a larger tank. I actually like the emperor much better. Is that one a lot larger?........yes I was going for color with this list. I also want compatibility..... As for the clowns I really love how...

    Newby question.

    I believe it came from trial and error for most people. It is usually the amount that people have found that gives the best filtration for the tank. You can always use more or less depending on what kind of tank that you have. If you have fish that like a lot of swimming room then you may need...

    Which Tang???.....

    So they have to be able to graze all day, correct? So basically you would feed them once in the am, once in the pm and leave them a piece of algae while you are at work during the day.....is that correct?

    Which Tang???.....

    Well thanks for all the info guys.....I am thinking that I will go with the powder blue then. I have always like them the best. although I do love the achilles......any special feeding requirements for tangs??

    Which Tang???.....

    Well I definitely don't want to get a fish that is going to die for sure........my lfs had the most beautiful sohal tang but it was around 250.....a little pricey for my blood......it was amazing to watch it swim around though. I think for sure that I want an achilles someday. I just love the...

    Which Tang???.....

    I have studied some about them and those are the three I like the best. I am not necessarily interested in them for ease of care. I do like the yellow tang but they are seen often in saltwater tanks and I would like to have one that is a bit more rarely seen and different looking. I wanted to...

    Which Tang???.....

    Okay so i have been looking at tangs which I eventually want to put in a 120 gallon........I cannot decide between three different ones... achilles blue hippo or the powder blue. I only want one so I would like one that is active and beautiful. Who has experience keeping any of these and which...

    Mantis Shrimp Tankmates???

    I guess I could see the large clowns being okay especially if they are hosting an anemone. They have their own protection from the mantis. They also don't tend to swim back and forth a a lot so maybe the mantis would not get attracted to them as a food source. I believe the mantis works off of...

    Quickkkk!!!!

    Definitely didn't need to flush him. Many puffers blow up and take time to come back down to size. at my lfs, they had one that blew up and stayed that way for 7 days and finally reduced in size on it's own....You probably flushed a fish that would have lived.

    If one more Texan....

    Actually from my experience, and I have lived all over the US, people from Texas and Phoenix are prolly the worst. California was bad but they are really just aggressive drivers, not unsafe. I cannot count how many times here that I have almost been run off the road in Phoenix because someone...

    The Notebook

    i haven't seen it although i have heard it is a great movie........another one that i honestly loved was Brokeback Mountain. A lot of men won't watch that one either (for obvious reasons, no jokes), but it was absolutely fantastic. I cried and I laughed at it.

    soft-shelled turtle

    Well, it did state in some of the research that I did that a full spectrum light can help them to heal any scratches or injuries much easier. It is why many people make them ponds outside......so they can sit in the sun. I think I will just play it safe and not put anything really rough or sharp...
